Thank you. Personally, I think granola was invented by dentists to drum up business, but yes, I certainly was/(am?) a hippie, and for many years, way back in the day.
thx doesnt seem so silly when read in full context. i played hs football and was a total scrub at it at the time because i didnt hit my coordinated stride until after high school. even with that though, i dont regret the experience. learned many valuable lessons about myself and others. for instance i was able to drop 100 pounds because of the organized exercise setting that being on the football team entails. so while i sucked at the game and was on the bottom of the team totem pole, stuff like that gave me the confidence to do other things.
