Love the story and love the ending! We, old guys, always want to reach out and impart wisdom on the whippersnappers. But they need to make their own mistakes, alas.

Thank you Alex, I wonder sometimes how things might had been different if the young did listen to those with more experience ... and I include myself in that, from both perspectives!

Yes, Richard, I think about that too often. Bit who knows, perhaps what we needed as young people was not what our parents and friends offered, since everyone is wired differently; a useful advice for one person is poison for another.
