The future
The future is ~~more~~ less extreme than you think.
The future is something else entirely.

Back in 2003, I gave an update on my plans for the future. Five years later, I believe it’s time to revisit these. I’ve thrown out a bunch, updated the pertinent ones, and added some new blood.

Walk across the country. I’ve gotten a lot of walking done, at least.
Write the Great American sf Novel. I’ve got a few chapters.
Push-ups. I’ve done about 60 so far.
Eat Altoids Yep.
Skydive. No.
Worry about the future. Still occasionally.
Worry about the past. Nah. Too long ago.
Teach somebody somewhere. My brief career as a substitute teacher in 2007 should tide me over for a while.
Get married. To whom? To Susan!
Climb every mountain. Only landfills in Illinois.
Sing. That’s why God gave us lungs.
And last but not least… Get a better job. Yes! I have benefits, and a business card!
