I got badly burned at 25 and spent the next 5 years indoors hiding from warmth or sun.

So.... Pretty boring. I finished an engineering degree though.

Realized that gravitons are NTO positive energy tachyons, and the fabric of space-time is responding as a Tolman indicator.

But no one cared.

I went from teaching HS and JHS to back on active duty. BTW I just got a 2% cost of living raise on my pension. Teachers have not gotten one in over 18 years.

I must add that that is in Texas

Nothing all that interesting. The usual idiocy and sexcapades that comes with getting out and about and getting drunk and high, all while heading toward an early grave. I survived myself and I'm still alive 30+ years later.

Best years of my life so far.

Had a great dating life. Was seeing a really great girl that I totally screwed up with later.

Was making great money. It was on the west coast, so figuring cost of living, it wasn’t awesome money, but it was 20% more than I make now.

Saved lots of money, bought lots of cans.

Had my drinking at a level that I would call ‘under control’.

Lived with my two best friends before they got married.

Bought a house.

Life was good.
