On a lighter note...
So I pick up my mail yesterday and find this letter addressed to me:
Dear Ben,
Guess who I am. I'm you from 10 years ago. Do you remember this letter[?] I am in 6th grade now with Mr. [deleted]. I will graduate 6th grade in 3 1/2 days. I want to be involved in technology [and] go to M.I.T. Right now the biggest electronic breakthroughs are laptops and video phones, there is still no cure for AIDS. I will graduate soon, it is important to me.
I hope you are still doing goal keeper in soccer, catcher in baseball[,] gymnastics, and role-playing games. I know how tough it must be now you have college, a home, maybe a car, job and money too.
To me now, what is important is trying hard and pushing the limits, everyday is a quest for gusto. Do your best. It will pay off. Remember this every second of every day.
Sincerely Yourself,
Ben [deleted]

Very amusing. It was more like 11 years, but who's counting.
