Stan great read! Reminds me of the Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. It deals with a man who has gone through hardships & wishes he had never been born.

He finds out how many people would have been negatively impacted had he not been born.

I’m happy you are getting back into your music.

Congratulations on your hundredth consecutive writing. I look forward every week to reading what you to say!!!

Thank you for sticking with me! And I still have never seen that movie. Aaron is a big reason why the band is happening because he set us up to get the vinyl pressed and since then it’s been a whirlwind, actually technically 20 plus years ago he got me a tryout into that band too. Haha.

Stan Another thoughtful piece You have the right balance in your life and you lead a life that is to be envied I read history (all periods but mostly ancient) all the time and through that reading I was and am a time traveler And i am afraid if I had the ability I would change many things— mostly big events that changed history., including the defeat of the Romans by the Goths at Adrianople; the fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453; the death of Alexander the Great at 32; and I would have pushed his mother’s hand to fully dip Achilles foot in the water of immortality; and Hitler would have died in the trenches of World War 1 And a few things in my life too The space time compendium be damned

Haha as a thought experiment you ought to trace those things out as if they happened that way and imagine how things would be better / worse

Wonderful article. I often think about areas in my past I would have liked to traverse differently. Overall I would not change much. I found the love of my life almost 51 years ago (Glenna hope I got that right!!) and we will celebrate our 49th anniversary this August. We have 3 great kids and 5 wonderful grandchildren. Life has not been easy but we are blessed. We have learned that there are hills and valleys. Thanks again for a great read. “Dad Core”. I’ll hafta remember that one!! Ask Aaron about the time I took them all to Charleston for a Hardcore festival!! Love and Hugs!!
