Wonderful piece, Steve! I think about this stuff constantly, having moved around the planet for various jobs, lovers, adventures, and whatnot. But consider this! According to quantum physics, at every fork in the road, the universe divides, with each path's outcome fully manifested in each universe. Just think about the infinity of adventures you've had elsewhere/elsewhen! And me too! The more forks in the road, the more possibilities. And someday, I would cheerfully give my eye teeth to have a look into some of those alternate universes to see how things might have turned out. Oh, my!
