C&S,

You are discovering why you are who you are. That is a good thing. Use that to propel you forward. It's never too late to be the man you want to be for YOU.

You can't undo the past, but you can learn the lessons from it so as to not repeat it.

As far as the irony goes, I hear ya! MLCer's are full of it.

As Brook says, keep steppin'. You're gettin' there!
