Things:
Without reciting all the 'things' that I've done, I'll just say that I've
pursued just about everything that I thought about doing all the years I was
working. I've done a lot of things 'on my list of things to do in life' and
I'll never say that I didn't get a chance to do them. Funny, but the major
things I wanted to do did not change over these years, even though my/our
outer circumstances did change off and on. Basically, we've had the time to
do just what we wanted to do most every day; there's nothing better.
