Andy said...: I was almost a Marine. I kick myself regularly for allowing the wishes of others to influence me.

God bless 'em, one and all!; Nov 10, 2009, 1:12:00 PM
Paul Mitchell said...: Andy, everyone has their purpose. Chill out.; Nov 10, 2009, 1:33:00 PM
Andy said...: Paul, (never to be one to pat myself on the back...nyuk), I took that "one regret" and tried to make sure that I would not leave this life with another one. So far, so good.

I'm chilled, my friend. I certainly understand that the dominoes fall the way they do.

But I'd have loved to find out at 18 if I was "man enough." It's a long story...; Nov 10, 2009, 3:21:00 PM
