Forget making money, forget practicality, forget what you're trained to do or skilled at, or even the laws of physics -- what do you actually want to do? I honestly would like to know

Sounds like you and I need to get drunk and discuss the meaning or lack there of of our lives. Soon.

And no, I have nothing more useful to add than that.

That is very useful. Perhaps you, me, two respective bottles of vodka, and Skype...??? :)

Demented and sad, yet social. ;)

Historical house curator for a site that privileges historical reenactment. But I frankly lack the focus and energy to pursue this now or ever...

Restoring a victorian house, with a bottomless budget, and nothing to do but blog about cooking in my incredible kitchen.

Saving that, i'll settle for finishing the website I'm making for myself and starting to get a decent number of photography clients. If I Can support myself by the end of this year, I'll feel like a success at last.

Hey, if that Julie and Julia author could blog about cooking, so can you! And you are way more interesting, and, I suspect, a better cook...

Mad scientist, no question.

Also (I may yet figure out how to make this happen some day) create some sort of organization to promote activity to older people.

[msjen]

I could totally see you doing both of those things. And the last one seems extremely feasible, not to mention so very needed...

Man, I hear ya.

Ok, throwing out all practicalities, talent, training? Marine biologist. Real adventurer -- exploring places and seeing things and doing crazy-ass shit that could get me killed. Running away and really joining the circus, not just spending a few hours a week on the trapeze.

I love this. Thank you.
