Sure! I’ve admitted to not foreseeing the rise in real estate over the last few years many times. It caught me completely off guard [/quote]

Your admission of a “mistake” is that your previous clients/buyers have done much better than you thought they would do with respect to their purchases? I’m not the last word, obviously, but I’m not certain that rises to the level of a material mistake. I’ve managed partnerships that did far better than I thought they would… but I didn’t classify my underestimation as a mistake (although we generally exited too soon, which could be viewed as mistakes, I suppose). Now, if you didn’t see the oughties bubble bursting, that would’ve been a mistake… but I can’t remember where individual posters stood on that issue… too long ago.

Heck just this past weekend I thought why not take a drive up north to pick up some wine, catch a concert, grab a drink with a friend and drive back the next day. Five hundred miles each way. I’m too old for that. Now I’ve got a cyst in my left knee the size of a marble I’m gonna need to get cut out. I’m such a dumbass sometimes[/quote]

I’m not sure this is a mistake that rises to the level of being worth mentioning, but… reasonable people can disagree. (I forgot my keys in the house the other day… had to go back and get them. Almost didn’t forgive myself.)

Five hundred miles… each way… that is one hell of a drive, though. I’m surprised that driving – even a long distance – would result in a cyst in your left knee (of all places), but… I’m no doctor and stranger things have happened. Good luck with the surgery.
