I wanted to learn how to break dance,

so when I was 14, I paid a kid $15 to teach me how. I paid him out of my hard-earned newspaper route money.

I saw him in the streets spinning on a piece of linoleum. He had three friends with him,

all of them were good at their own particular style of breakdancing. One kid was good doing

the back spins, windmills, and head spins. Another kid was good at doing all of the above-floor

stuff like popping, etc. Another kid was good at waving, like his body was made out of rubber.

I had recently lost a contact lens and was afraid to tell my parents they needed to spring for a new pair.

So for the entire summer, way back in the mid-80s, I practice breakdancing every day and I can only

see out of one eye.

Maybe the best summer of my life, certainly the most embarrassing when I now think back on it.

In every spare moment I either hung out with my new friends having no issues

abandoning my other friends who weren't cool enough to understand the finer

subtleties of the windmill or I practiced in front of a mirror.

It's even embarrassing writing these words down. All this brings me to investing.
