my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: Lots of rip-roaring excitement!
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: Oh my, yes! Never thought I'd travel across the county six times (3 by myself), live in the Mohave for 7 months, live in the Keys for a year, own my own company for ten years and enroll in college at 55. (well, the company thing was 20 years ago.)
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: I'd like to think I'll have a PhD and still be traveling.

You were right - don't settle for so little in life. Live it to the fullest.
