Quit the life of crime when I met the wife. Never looked back.

*Figured out that we all can be idiots. That is why I don't bother to hide my stupidity and I don't think less of anyone for doing the occasional stupid.
*Refused to allow a good samaritan to move a guy with a broken neck.
*I took my doctor's advice.
*Somehow managed to take a few fun trips, this included the one to Ouray with an ice climbing ST dude. Plus my trip with the beautiful Lynne! Oh, and I can't forget about seeing my grandmother again!
*Being lucky enough to have the honor of climbing with Cosmic! I had so much fun that it still makes me smile!
(Oh... And I miss L!)

Never done anything smart.
If I did, I'd be rich, instead of just good lookin'.

Pretty much what Todd said (although the wife, who was my former climbing partner, pretty much put the brakes on most of my climbing). That and leaving the corporate world to work for myself, which keeps me just as busy but far happier.

Became a Commodity Broker in the mid seventies, learned to trade both bull and bear markets. Most importantly, learned to "sell short", and used that methodology to my best trading year ever the past 12 months by selling short the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq.
PS, stay short, we are going much lower.

Only two I can think of:
- Stayed in rehab back in '88 instead of fleeing like I really wanted to. 20+ years later -- still sober. I thank God for every day.
- After 36 years of stubborn bachelorhood I got married and eventually relented about the whole "kids" thing. I had no idea what I was missing.
