Jesus, the amount of opportunities I have blown in epic fashion. So many debacles. Some highlights...

I passed on a high grade Ruth RC once...at 15k.

I passed on the most beautiful Mantle 51B rookie I ever saw...at 30k.

I even passed on buying Apple stock when it was relatively low...and this after knowing in my gut that the company would kick major ass, (I was inspired by all that Jobs was going to do, when he and I spoke at length on a bus ride-- it was a private bus, long story). Point is even then, I managed to pass.

So feel better. Because I've blown it way worse. Actually, going to eat a few pizzas now and slip into a dark, dark depression. Adios!

That sounds like a good story (and a painful one, ouch).

If we meet I need to hear that one.

I agree. Perhaps we can hear that one over a couple of beers at the Net54 dinner at next year's national.

Default I Blew It...
... by marrying two of my wives. Given what they cost me, I could have bought a whole pile of '52 Topps Mantles at the time... and they would have brought me greater joy.
