@ROman I was pretty idiotic in my youth and hope that I’m a little better now. Can’t say that I don’t make mistakes still, but at least I slow down and think….a little.
I was in a band where the lyric to a song was…If my young self could see me now he’d probably be let down,but the truth of the matter is if my young self could see me now he’d probably be surprised that I was alive.

@Jett129 lol and how very true! I often thought I would never see 50…
I wish I could say I would go back and do things differently, but then those experiences have made me who I am today. Slightly worn and battle scared, but just a little wiser…
I really think that it’s better to have tried and failed, than never have tried at all. Maybe wisdom, maybe foolishness…but I accept who I am.

@goosehd Years ago, I was telling a co-worker a story about my younger days which I stated I used to be crazy. He looked at me stone faced and said used to be?

@SKT did the same thing this morning

It can be such a long corner though.
Welcome back to the east coast bro.

It’s been 105 all week here. I was talking to someone yesterday on Zoom and he was in Vermont, wearing a cozy looking flannel cpo type of thing. He said the high was like 65 or something. The envy was REAL.

We leave here on Sunday. I’m very excited.

@AdamJ ugh dude yeah — NY can be so awful in the summer. You have to walk everywhere while it’s super muggy and hot, and pretty much any place you go will have scant AC at best. I don’t miss that part of living there!

Not sure where you were going,when you were in NYC, that they had scant AC. I find most places to be like meat lockers,and depending on how long your going to be inside you might want to carry a jean jacket. I love NYC in the summer ,even if its hot AF. I wear 21OZ IH,in NYC, from May to October.

@Jett129 I lived in Brooklyn from 2000-07, and in my memory seeing central AC was a real rarity unless I was in a department store or an office building. The apartments my friends and I lived in all had (supply-your-own, of course) window units at best.
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of Texas much of the time, but the sub-arctic AC here has spoiled me. I remember the first time I went back to visit my friends in NY, and for some reason having to walk from the south side of Williamsburg by the JMZ up to a restaurant on the north side. Got a lovely case of swamp-ass on the hike and was looking forward to sitting down to a burger and beer at a place with some nice cool air. We arrived at the place and the windows were all open, not a BTU in sight.
Different strokes I guess!

I'll add that to be fair, I am constantly hot. My girlfriend, on the other hand, is constantly cold — our otherwise pretty perfect relationship teeters on this deadly knife's edge

@popvulture this is an exact mirror image of my wife and I
hot bloodedness doesn’t lend itself well to trying to destroy extra heavy denim as a hobby does it
