Notes to My Future Self

What are you most worried about for the future?

I’m an analyst, so… Everything?

Too broad?

Ok let me think of specifics.

1. I still don’t know the correct answer to the riddle “how many chucks would a woodchuck chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood” and I fear I will never know the answer. Seems like I could just add up the number of times the word “chuck” appears but that seems too obvious.

2. That I’ll turn into some crazy person who decides not to retire. I’ve dreamt of retirement since I was a girl (yeah you read that right) so not retiring would shake up the core of my identity.

3. That I’ll develop some weird health condition that prevents me from drinking coffee.  Would be almost as devastating as item 2 above if not more so.

4. That I’ll never make time to learn underwater basket weaving.

5. That the Friday/Saturday morning kids show Xploration Earth is right and we’ll all be eating crickets as our main source of protein by the year 2050.

Phew now that I got that out of my system, what are you all worried about? Can’t be nearly as bad as my list.
