This is a very interesting reflection. I'm about the same age as you are, and I've found that even getting to know oneself is a huge journey. So much of what happens during those high-school years is so influential in who we become, and we spend the next good-long-time processing those events and choices. I'm sorry Jeff held your choices against you, but maybe he was wrestling with some of his own. Thanks for an interesting meditation on our generation's experience. Strider
