After just having a baby, I've been thinking about these things. I'm less likely to go skydiving now. But I would anyway. I used to think that I was immortal and invincible, which was a blessing and a curse. Now, I still know that I am immortal, but I know that I am not invincible. And I know that I will never settle. Fuck practicality. Risk brings reward. Life is an adventure; a game, and although I may not win, I will play one hell of a game. The people in the mountains will sing songs of me! Never settle. Never give in. Live forever. I think I'm going to put that on a t-shirt or bumper sticker. I like this thoughtful, reflecting post, Larry.
