In alternate life # 1123, I stayed in San Francisco and began playing guitar with the boys who were going to become the Jefferson Airplane in the near future. I spent a short intense career making millions writing deathless acid-rock lyrics and burned out, retired to an ashram, and later became a writer of New Age spiritual guidance books.

In # 2301, I scrimped and saved at various jobs and bought a schooner, which I run up and down the East coast to tall-ship conventions, holding chanty fests and taking gawkers on overnights beyond the horizon.

In alternate life #1234, I tweaked oscillators and magnetic fields in my garage and discovered a relatively simple, low-energy method of unbonding hydrogen, recovering a lot of the energy stored in the bonds, and made billions re-energizing Western civilization.

How many do you want? :D
