I've certainly won more than my fair share of cosmic lotteries, all things considered.

Only thing I guess I'm missing is a partner, which is entirely due to my own lack of effort. So far sailing solo hasn't bothered me any. But I do occasionally daydream about what I might be missing out on...

I'm white, my family is middle-ish class, I don't pay rent.
