when life's raging fires have been extinguished, and an even keel is established.

Let me know when you have those fires extinguished, I have yet to get mine all put out, and new ones are always kindling, most of them under my ass so I would get up and do something when I did not feel like doing anything.

As for turning the clock back, not a chance in hell I would take the route. If I was aware of stepping back with my knowledge intact, I would be so afraid of changing the person I am now, all my aches pains and foibles. It would be to tempting to try and fix things in the past, I can hear the conversation in my head between the guy that stayed in the present and the one that stepped back to fix things.
