029 The Almost Perfect Day

b"Every Wednesday I depart from the regular format and tell a story from my strange and interesting life. These aren't just stories for the sake of telling a story...on the contrary, they are relevant to our mission here at Being A Better Man. Some stories may be sad, others funny, some may even be disturbing, but all the stories have some nugget or morsel of wisdom, a lesson that you might be able to apply to your own life. Or, it might remind you of your own story in which valuable lessons were learned. Stories are the means by which our species has conveyed wisdom from one generation to the next down through the ages. It's no different today...all you need is someone to tell the story (me) and someone to hear the story (you). This week is a story that had a particular impact on my life."
