Man oh man, i can relate to missed opportunities...regrets...i have to keep reminding myself that some decisions i've made seemed to be the right decision at the time....i just can't remember what made me make those decisions!

What matters most, brother, is you were able to turn this into a real good piece of advice for any who chance upon a meeting with the gods and live to tell it...

Cheers with both thumbs up,
