I won't comment on the other stuff, but I certainly wouldn't call you a 
"wannabe".  You've accomplished a lot there over the years.  I remeber when 
you were debating sending son to regular high school, now he's on a real big 
boat, not in jail.  If you just have a big garden and shoot a freezer full of 
deer, you have veggies and meat.  

Maybe , like me, you feel like you could have done more, already.  But, don't 
diregard what you actually have done ...bobford
