Charlie, you are the matter-of-fact words of the wise.
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own.
You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president.
You realize that you control your own destiny.
it'd be nice to allow avatars on this site.... then i could associate someones fake name to their fake image.... thus making it much easier to recognize you at a crag.
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.

But with the roads closed this summer, we can't even get to Dip Wall!!! Guess the thing to do is take them to Practice Wall down in Muir. Enjoy.
