Perhaps I was being too dramatic. I can still ride and wrench, but nothing like those multi-month epic tours of my teenage years will ever happen again without me choosing to abandon my career and probably a lot of earning potential. Why am I prioritizing a career? Well, would be nice to be financially comfortable and have reliable housing and healthcare for once. That's just the way life has turned out. I can still ride and wrench, but there'll never be time to do what I really would like to, or top what I've already done.
