Great one Matt…sending it t my granddaughter right away. On another note: when your photo came up I immediately thought of your Grandpa Brian. If you followed that path you’d have a crazy time but you’d learn a hell of a lot and have a whale of good time.

Keep writing Matt

I reread your post - it’s that good! I love the mustache. The blond men in my life have envy for sure. It’s fun to think that you really aren’t supposed to drink until the cortex matures. We all look back and see how much damage has been done - such a hurry to grow up 😉. Kind of like how many sunburns you had before you turned 12? It’s funny how time provides a new perspective. I’m glad you take time yearly to reflect. Best wishes for the next quarter of a century. It’s wild I am on the third one. A big part of me has the mental end date at 100. Nice and neat but likely unrealistic.

Thanks for the note Lynette! 100 doesn't sound far-fetched to me :)

Flickman! Great insights as always. My thoughts....

1. I recently turned 50! Yes...FIFTY. So while I get that 25 feels old, you’re still just a pup. And yet, you’ve done more and seen more than 99.9% of the world’s population in the last few years. You’re just entering the prime of your life. EMBRACE IT!

2. Number 23 says it all. Twice in my life since turning thirty I’ve had life altering health issues. EVERYTHING depends on your health.

3. The ‘stache is balls!
