Pie-in-the-sky goals are to hike the floor of the Grand Canyon and stay in the Ice Palace in Sweden.
A more easily attainable goal is becoming a Master Naturalist, enrolling in the next session of courses offered by the local university/extension office when DH will retires in May. Taking a narrow boat trip on the canals in England and seeing the outer islands off the coast is easy too: our DIL’s parents extended an open invitation to visit them or use their place in England if they are traveling.
Day to day goals are to explore our area waterways more in our kayak and continue to enjoy the grandkids as much as we can and for as long as they will allow.

This is so true.... Use Excel daily, could be better...
Have lost thousands of hours of sleep to yapping neighbor dogs. Counted 7 yapping at 3AM last week at my Texas rural place. Nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. Fortunately, I hear each hour sleep you lose comes off the tail end of your life. Less time in a nursing home will be a plus.
I would like to survive the next crisis, several this week, including DS in hospital (8wks prior to HC eligibility). Will need to cough up a few hundred $k to cover this as one of many catastrophes. Driving a $35 car helps keep it all in perspective. Easy come, easier go. Stimulate the economy.
Haha, that’s my short term goal too. Make sure I survive Europe for 2.5 months.
