Sail on.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

He touched so many lives ... in a positive way ... the last line in the "last lecture" will stay with me forever. He was explaining the "head fakes" he had put into the speech.

“Did you figure out the second head fake? This (the lecture) was not for you guys. This was for Dylan, Logan and Chloe.”

Sail on, Professor.

I reviewed the book last month ...
