<3 Thanks all. 36 is that middle period where you've ceased understanding the young several years ago, but do not possess nearly the experience to commiserate with the elders just yet. That being said, even though I feel (mostly) young, I'm still a little surprised that I made it this far, given how foolish I acted in my 20s. I guess most do though, those worth their salt at least. I will hopefully double this span if not go for even longer... we'll see in a few decades perhaps.
Fun fact: I've been playing bass longer than my newest drummer has been alive. Oh well, at least I still have all my hair. Plus some extra comin' out me back!
