All right, I'm not the teacher and I'm not actually in charge and I can't actually give you homework, but I gave you voluntary if you feel like at homework yesterday.

And my question for you to think about both then and now is once again as follows.

If somebody came along and they gave you three time travel tokens that you could use on your own life

to go back and see stuff or change stuff or whatever you wanted to do,

what would you use those three tokens on?

My guess is that for those of you hearing it right now and thinking it through on the fly and for those of you who had a day to think about this, you came up with something that sounds a little bit like this. I bet a bunch of

you were like I would use that to go see something beautiful. Something that was a moment

where everything about life was right, that horrible tragedy that would happen later hadn't

happened yet. Everybody was there, everything was right, things weren't broken,

we were filled with optimism, whatever it is, I bet some of you would go back and

see the beautiful thing.

I would guess that if you had a time travel token that had to be used once again on your own life,

not to go hang out with A-Blinkin or anything like that,

I would guess that some of you would use it to go back and be more attentive to something you missed.

I bet there are some of you listening who thought of that kid that you've only got one or two years left with under your roof and you thought about the sweet moments when they were just

tiny and little and they learned how to walk and they were figuring things out and you were

looking forward to them being older. You were looking forward to them being the next thing and you weren't in

that moment as much as you could have been in that moment.

And now you understand what maybe you let slip by a little bit and you would use one of those

tokens to go and drink that in the way

every wise person in your life was telling you and telling me to drink it in but we

just didn't know how to as that beautiful moment passed by. Still others of you, I bet, decided that you would use that token
