"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that
you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover." ---Mark Twain
Sam C. was a bachelor, IIRC. Personally, I've lived a rich, full life to
this point. I have a beautiful, loving wife of 33 years, a wonderful
daughter, two terrific grandsons, and a beautiful boat to sail at my
leisure. The price I've paid for those things has been a satisfying,
meaningful profession that has kept me from throwing off the bow lines, but
it has had its own manifold rewards. Were I to die tomorrow, I'd be hard
pressed to discover any disappointments, other than tiny, insignificant
ones.
If I lived your life, Cappy, it would be one interminable, unending
disappointment.
