» drift I suspect that people assume that as they get older they are able to make important decisions about life more easily. I don't think this is the case. I think that these decisions become more complicated because there is a sense that we have less time to bring our decisions to fruition. I mean, if I was 20 and I was thinking that I needed to change my life, I would feel confused by the wide variety of choices available to me, but at the same time I would have the sense that the decision need not be rushed, nor indeed was too important, being only 20. But if I was 30, I may enjoy the benefit of some additional wisdom, helping me narrow down the choice of my new life to the things I know from experience I like. But heck, I'd be 30, and I'd need to be pretty sure that I was making the right decision. By 40 I'd better darn well know what I was doing with my life because if I had to change up my life goals again at the age of 50...well. Anyway. That's not really what's on my mind right now. What's on my mind is the fact that there's a wonderful young woman who just got into bed, 3000 miles away, and who's voice was so nice as she said "good night" that I can think of little else. What am I doing? Where am I going? What does life have in store for me? I don't know. I kinda like it this way. In my heart I'm still young enough to drift a bit.
