Side note: I have not lived a storied life filled with an angelic past; but I truly like who I am now at half a century of age and would not be the man I am, I feel, without doing the good and the bad I did in the past. I consider the skeletons in my closet to be my friends...ugly, hideous Helen Thomas type skeletons, but my friends.
Dittos.........the wise, traveling the road of life, do not revel in their skeletons, but use them as markers for the roads not to be taken again........
