Yes, that seems to say it all really.

It occurs to me it might be wise to make a deliberate attempt to spread passions out over time now. To plan to take things up and have time for them and then leave them.

Or to become a rich consultant and have extended holidays or something-i-don't-know-what. It's a shame that the freedom we had then wasn't appreciated as much, because we didn't have our working lives to compare it to.

By the way, hello; I've just noticed you added me, and I've added you back.

Thanks. *waves* Hello. It was very nice to meet you in person. Though it was weird wasn't it; I was so amused/disturbed to hear you described as the one Jack knows...
