The future is more less extreme than you think.

This is a part of "The Future".

Back in April I came up with a list of “possibilities” for the Fall. Here’s a quick summary of how it’s developing:

Sea-kayak across the Bering Strait. Need to learn to kayak first.
Corner the market in pork. Still trying to find a broker who won’t laugh at me.
Walk across the country. Maybe later.
Memorize War & Peace. I found my copy finally. No progress otherwise.
Write the Great American Novel. Ask me in December.
Join the Peace Corps (which Steve might actually do). A strike on both counts.
Become a human shield in Iraq (or Syria). Just ain’t what it used to be.
Push-ups. I’ve done about 25 so far.
Eat Altoids Not in my budget.
Worry about the future. Bingo.
Drive across the country. Yes.
Skydive. No.
Worry about the past. Not so much.
Get married. To whom? Dunno. Somebody. Still looking for Ms. Right.
Climb every mountain. No mountains in Wisconsin.
Sing. That’s why God gave us lungs.
And last but not least… Get a job. Yes! I’m not a worthless piece of scum! I have buying power!
