+====== I Want a Do Over ======
+by Robert L. Paddock\\
+Copyright (C) 2013,2017
+<blockquote>
+There are several days in my life that I'd like a “do over” for.
+Do I got back to a few days before Karen's suicide to prevent it?
+Do I got back 24 years to prevent her car accident in the first place,
+so that she did not suffer for all of the years?
+Do I got back to the post office where I let a lovely looking young
+lady go before me, where there was a very long line at Christmas
+time. She hung around by the door clearly wanting me to talk to her
+and I was too shy at the time, something I've overcome with the
+passing years. I would have never meet Karen at all.
+Do I go back to high school and ask the girl there that I liked, that
+I was to afraid to even talk with due to my shyness?
+Do I go back to the first big decision of my life when I was seven,
+and my parents gave me a choice between Karate Lessons or an Organ
+with music lessons. I choose the music lessons, as being a Nerd, I was
+attracted to all the blinking lights and buttons of the organ.
+If we could pull at the threads of the tapestry of our lives how much
+of it will unravel?
+Do we want it to?
+We only regret those things that we do not do.
+Today by chance or fate, we can not know which, I chatted with a
+lovely young lady as we left a meeting about our shared interests in
+SiFi.
+I asked her to join me for lunch.
+What if she says 'No'?
+Perhaps she'll say yes?  Then new friends we may each have.
+Her answers maters not, for asking the question means there is a new
+regret I shall not have, fore we only regret that which we do not
+do...
