I know the oldster thinking, I have one kid working her first post graduation job and another looking at Grad Schools. It may sound like bullshit but I'm younger than I have been in years. I've decided it's okay to play at life a little bit and not take things so damn serious. Do some good in the world and don't get caught up in other people's expectations and institutions. I spent the day yesterday with probably my favorite old-timer. He is being assaulted by his own body and mind now but he broke with convention years ago and in the process accumulated one metric shit-ton of positive karma. Identify any bullshit you've accumulated and toss it over-board. I don't know if that helps... just thinking in print.
