Gus, you're at the beginning of the wacky journey of life. It's serious business, but it must not be taken too seriously.
I've never had kids, but I have been privileged to encounter a number of very bright young people evolve into exceptional adults.
The most exceptional have one thing in common - they don't grow up
too much.
As long as you bring to it the same attitude, sense of wonder, curiosity and wisdom you've learned from your family, friends and fellow racers, it's possible - just possible - that you could eventually become another Freud.
Let that be a warning to you . . .
Happy Birthday!
Chris
