I bought my house 10 years ago today. Tomorrow I turn 40. Ten years is a long time, and there’s been plenty of water under the bridge. But it’s still the same bridge, and the water continues to come from the same clean spring, somewhere upstream of the temporal deltas. I’ve never tried to control everything that’s come flowing down the tributary, so I can’t say if one approach is better than the other.

All I can say is that it’s worked for me and I wouldn’t change a thing.
