Every year has its joys and its challenges. I like a little nostalgia (and at 73 I've a lot more to be nostalgic about than most here), and though I often think fondly of my school years, I wouldn't want to go back. Much better to continue to hope (and work) to make tomorrow a bit better than today -- for me and for as many as I can manage.
It's worth noting, as much as I'd pick 95 as a particularly good period in my life, I completely agree with what you're saying here.
