It's funny how different things take different shape as you get older.
As an old guy (yeah, I'm old, I think @oldmanebro and I are close in age), certain things that mattered back then just don't matter now, and certain things that matter now weren't even considered back then.
As old guys, I think we're all done with the hype and the disappointment and being influenced. So the 'game' is probably done for us...but...for y'all youngsters? It looks like it's just getting started...
