And here's another thing.......you're not going to die wishing you'd have spent more time at the office, or with your nose in a calculus book. One needs to find a balance.

Find your balance, and let everyone else worry about theirs. Ted Bundy graduated from UW Law School and Sam Walton didn't have a college degree. So go figure.


So sorry to hear about your bro.

I agree whole heartedly about your theory on life. I am remodeling a house and selling my current house, spending all my weekends as a slave to those things, and it is fun in some ways. But every now and then I think what's the point? I am not spending enough time with my kids, so I just drop what I am doing and go do something with them. I actually caught a fish last week, and I was like, "Man, I really miss that."

You'll never look at your photo album and say, "Wow look at how good my yard looked, I must have just weedeated it."

Obsession with stuff will kill you.

Sorry to hear about your Bro Dan. Wasting a day with you is not really a day wasted. I need to think about what I just wrote.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I wasn't meaning to rain on everyone's parade, just trying to make some sense out of what we're all doing here.

Thanks for everyone's condolences in this difficult time. My family appreciates all your kind words.

On the upside Dan, your brother would not have excelled at what he did if he did not love it. Some people get a passion for knowledge, and he obviously had that. He also went out the way many of us would like to, doing something that we enjoy. You know what I mean.
