What we want to do is just chill out,
Because I had regrets.
Really?
Yeah.
And I had a moment.
I've lived six decades without epiphanies except for one case.
One time where I felt like the universe was opening up to me.
And that was a few years ago at my elder daughter's college graduation.
Okay.
So it's a long day.
She's graduating from college.
And I'm sort of having an out-of-body experience.
I'm watching her in the cap and gown.
And I started thinking about my own college experience, which was actually quite positive, but I had some regrets.
I wish I were kinder to people, big time.
I wish I had taken more risks.
I actually wish I had worked a little harder.
And so it sort of stuck with me.
It came back to Washington where I live.
And I knew that nobody wanted to talk about regret.
