Yep. He was the last person you would have thought would have died there. The latest one was the lung cancer one. Harley dude but never smoked or drank or any of that kind of stereotype. Just loved to ride.

Was it ruled an accident straight off, or was the guy with him a suspect at any time? Just asking, hope this doesn't sound accusatory. Not my intention.

That place has a history of people falling off cliffs and it not ending well.

Naw. He fell. It happens up there. No foul play. You watch to many Law & Order episodes on USA.

It wasnt the fall that killed him. It was the sudden stop when he hit bottom.


(too soon?)

The only one I'm not good at is being true to myself...to an extent. Not as much today as I was in my youth. I made a lot of career decisions that I would not have in my 20s because of what was expected from me. I probably would have taken on a bit more risk back then and followed my gut and natural inclinations...but I took a safe route my parents wanted me to.

I've tried to correct that over the past 10 years with decent success, but I still have mild regrets in that space.

As far as #2, you'll always feel like you don't spend enough time with your kids no matter how little you work.

I keep my emotions to myself pretty much, but I don't harbor any bitterness toward anyone (except maybe for that racist, AA)

It's always better to regret something you did do than something you didn't do...

I think the "I wish I hadn't worked as much" applies whether you have children or not. I mean, it's called work for a reason. How many people would decline an offer of getting $100,000 a year with the sole stipulation that they did not work or take any paying job? Not many. Despite some people proclaiming they love their work, I bet the vast majority of people would quit in a minute if they were given sufficient or slightly excessive income with the stipulation that they quit their job and not get another one. That tells me that most people do not really love their jobs, or any job. Not that I had to be told that...
