Neither have I, young fellow. But in my earlier days - I traveled the world. I fought in a war. I explored the great American desert. I hunted wild beasts, stalked and caught fish from streams in the most beautiful of settings, dined under the stars on a late summer night.
I heard the inspiring words of John F. Kennedy and in horror witnessed his assassination. I heard the most uplifting speech ever delivered; Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream", and I aged a thousand years the day he was shot.
I served a tour of Army duty in Berlin at the height of the Cold War and went on to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall. I dipped my hands in the blood of scores of men in Viet Nam and lived to see that misbegotten military adventure to its ungracious end.
I wed a fellow veteran, and together she and I raised four wonderful children. We parted and I married still another former service person, and she and I raised her two marvellous children. Now, as I enjoy my granddaughters, I spend my life in active service to my community and my fellow veterans in the American Legion, the VFW, Vietnam Veterans of America and the Marine Corps League. I do living history presentations to local schoolchildren and am a Civil War reenactor, when I'm not operating my ham radio station.
Adventure? Sure, I spent a winter in Alaska. Son, I only hope your life is half as adventurous as mine has been. Man, what a ride!

A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.

Yes really. Which I never feel to daring. I like to be on the safe side of things.

Mine apparently is here in the wonderment that is the P&S Pub, because there's spies and faeries and dragons all over the place!
