re: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to the 18 year old you?

you’re gonna marry a crazy woman who will drive you up the wall sometimes, but she will end up giving you two amazing and beautiful kids, and help you deal with the loss of both parents and your brother followed by cancer in your late 50s

by the time you’re 63 you’ll own two homes, be retiring from one job and starting a new one with people you respect and admire, be playing bass in a fun local band, have many good friends, be producer of a nationally distributed comedy series, and be extremely happy with your lot in life

hang on and enjoy the ride
