Yeah, me too.
No, bad things. Hurt people on purpose, hurt myself. And I did my time, but that doesn't wash away the regret. I... wish I'd done things differently. I think about it every day.

Away from what?
Everything.
Well, that's not riding. That's running. Is that your final lesson for these kids?
