> Are they going to be among the best years of your life? Probably not. Are they necessarily wasted and "stolen"? No. This is a much better way of describing my reaction to these claims. I appreciate you making it soberly. There are absolutely folks who've been dealt a rough hand over the last two years--but I certainly wouldn't call my life "boring", and somehow I've figured out ways to make the last two years two of the best of my life: building a wood shop, getting away from the computer more, learning more about myself. And while I'll go back to traveling, etc. once things settle down, I have learned that I don't have to go places to be fulfilled. Focusing on what one can't do is probably a great way to have made the last two years suck, though.
