Maybe I've lost a little, but I think everyone does over time. People have been writing that I'm getting old every year, and eventually they're going to be right. There's nobody in this game that's doing the same things they once did in the peak years of their career.
Look, many of us here are regular marines... I will die as a marine because that is my dream.
If the work is going well and it's something that has value with some meaning to it, it gives back a lot.
