Observations From a Modern Day Pragmatist

My purpose in creating this blog is to record personal observations and reflections on matters that I consider noteworthy. What we call life is basically an infinite potpourri of events that are interpreted in our minds, and result in consequences--some within our control, most beyond our control.

Aging

I visited my alumni website today. Saw some pictures of some old college classmates. Many have children, some in their teens. Me--age 41, happily married, no kids. Can't complain, feel like I'm in good health. Gray hairs at about 10% of total. Too much to pluck at this point. Considering Grecian formula 44. Attractive women still get my attention. Still get the freaky thoughts when I see the hotties, just like any regular, healthy guy. Seems like college wasn't that long ago. I'm just happy to be alive. Only concern is my accomplishments; or lack thereof. Have my own business, but don't own a home. Have debt, minimal life savings. I need to either make the big dollars in the next 10 years, or be prepared to work till I'm 70 in order to retire. I'd love to travel overseas, but I'd also be happy doing things in the good old USA. Like camping, fishing, hunting, golfing, sailboarding, sailing, participating in intellectual or social organizations, and partying with good people. I wish I could live to age 200, because life is exciting.
