        I know this is real corny, but I think it is sage advice:

        "Regret the things that you do, not the things that you don't"

        And, one that I preach to anyone that will listen:

        All that matters in life is that you are happy, money success, big house, fast car, hot wife are completely useless without happiness…

          I've regretted not doing a couple of things when I had the opportunity, (qualifying as a snowboard instructor and racing DH mountain bikes being the two biggest), but I've learnt from that, and now tend to follow my instincts, i.e. if it feels right go for it, if not, use your judgement. Having good friends for a sanity check is a plus too 🙂

            On the flip side, I'd also likely say something like, Be Yourself. The sooner you fully accept yourself, as apposed to ideas/images of others, the sooner your life begins. Maybe they overlap more than I think.

              20 year high school reunion next Saturday. Is it inappropriate to wear:

              J Crew corduroy blazer
              IHSH-36
              IHB-01
              IH-666S
              Alden Longwing

              I know most will be in suits. I just don't give a fuck enough to try and impress

                D, I think that would be awesome. Feck the suits.

                Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                  I'd dump the jacket, if you don't give a fuck, do it properly…..

                        Why would you dress up for a high school reunion?  It's not the fucking prom.

                          I would wear Iron Heart top to bottom and carry a "fuck all y'all" attitude engraved on a chip firmly attached to my shoulder.  And I loved High School 😃

                          Think it, be it.

                            Agree, but more to the point, why a suit?

                              Reunion is at some swanky lounge in Manhattan. I grew up in Bergen County in NJ. One of the more affluent areas in the country. The assholes at this affair will be riddled with John Varvatos, Armani, Hugo Boss etc…

                                I had a roommate who grew up in Ho-Ho-Kus.  He didn't like most of the people in Bergen County, either.

                                And Ben, Woody Allen once said, "90% of success is showing up."  That's my advice- show up.  Show up for class, show up for guest speakers on campus, show up for gallery openings, show up for everything.  Nothing good happens to people who spend 4 years in their dorm room.

                                  curious to see what the jacket looks like paired with the items you named D666s. Wear whatever you are comfortable in and then you know go have a good time.  You flying solo or going with Mrs. D666?

                                  Great advice Chris, and I didn't even mind that it came from a dude that married his step daughter.

                                        I sold an item on ebaylast weekend, when the buyer paid, he paid with paypal echeck at the beginning of the week, this past week and it has still not cleared… I have never received an echeck before. Is this a typical wait period?

                                          Any skiers on the forum? I have a pair of Volkl Shiro 193 trying to decide between Look Pivot 18 or Marker Jester Pro. Any recommendations would be helpful.
