Looking over the list, it isn't just the young 'uns, ya'll. Cuz yours truly has not, and will not do any of this stuff on this list.

What I did do was this blog. It doesn't appear to have accomplished much. You might say that I dabbled a little with number 1 on the list, but like all things, I didn't get far with it.

Too late for me to do 2 or 3, since my parents have gone to the hereafter. I never married, and have no kiddoes. No others, except the family I was born into. Can't help a whole lot there either.

Church? I've never been a "joiner". That excludes number 5 as well. Oh, well. I am not much interested in joining any other organizations, so about all I can do is rant here.

One thing that I found while doing this blog is to seek a little self-reliance. Along those lines, I have dabbled in my off-grid project. If it does nothing else, if gives me something to do. Maybe it might even help me in the future, but I am not so sure about that.

Yeah, all roads lead back to this blog, which isn't getting much done, if anything. Maybe you can find something worth spending your time on here. There's a lot of posts covering the 11 years of blogging. Shoot, maybe it might help in some unknown way.

Sometime in the past, when I was working on the first in the list, I came across a quote by Abraham Lincoln. He said something to the effect that people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. Maybe the thing about that quote is this: "make up your mind". If you get my age, and you are still figuring out what you want to be when you grow up, you just might have a problem.
