Wouldn't it be better to let it go now while there are still some folks who have pleasant memories of it than to hang onto it grimly until it's an unmitigated atrocity that everybody hates?


I'm just not that selfish to hand this mess off to my children, then on the other hand, having been through this once already (albeit at a very young six years of age), I don't want to go through it again so I guess I am selfish as well.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
