After flying on a plane to other cities and lands,
crossing the borders over 1000 times,
After shaking hands with new people
over ten thousands times,
After writing millions of from hand-written letters,
FAXes to emails,
After watching over 3000 good movies and
listening to many thousands of songs,
After fighting in the ring again last month
as I turn 50 years old this year,
I have just come to the point of starting to
understand a little bit about the world.
