A long time ago, at the intersection of Hermosa and Los Feliz, riding in a late 80's model Honda Accord, my dad told me that I'd be a great man someday.
As soon as this post appeared, I spent about twenty minutes writing and rewriting comments to try to find the right response. I figured you had given this to us as a straight line, and it was up to all of us readers to fill in the punch line.
I came up with endless variations of "So, what went wrong?" or "That's okay, I'm sure he had some other predictions that did come true". I couldn't ever come up with anything that met my high comedy standards so I gave up.
Now I'm coming back because I just wanted to show that I was indeed trying and to get some sort of credit for the effort
It's about making a series of decisions, each one dependent upon the ones before. It's about believing in your potential and thriving within your limitations. It's about risk, reward, wisdom, and daring. In the end, it is always about how one manages the Long Carry.

It's the effort that counts, so yeah, you get credit.
That's all any of us really need, isn't it?
