One person's sour grapes...
...is another person's Dom Perignon 1969.
Unfortunately, I count as many or more casualties among those friends who have succumbed to partying and living the good life - than to "dangerous" occupations like fighting bad guys overseas.
Alcohol, smoking, drugs, biking, flying, rafting, tanning, 'vacationing' - the toll around me I have used to become part of my own learning curve.
For me, time spent wisely has been far more satisfying and pleasurable than the time I have spent in trying to amuse myself.
