Does this sound right?
I.
I'm pretty sure I had a dream about Ewan after I read your last post, Mate. Or maybe I just thought about him, deeply, and so it felt like a dream. Either way, it's all pretty pleasant, though I agree that it's somehow weird that Ewan is hot and someone's dad. Weird, but true. Like the fact that Brad Pitt used to be married to Jennifer Aniston. That's weird, right? Anyway, I've been thinking about age a lot lately. How we're in the middle of our lives, so we're at a point where some things are too late, broadly speaking. I mean, it's not like it's too late to make changes that we really really want to make...to our careers or what have you. But we're at an age where changing the direction of the ship would be a bigger deal than before, and will become an increasingly bigger deal from now on. We're not quite technically middle aged, but we're definitely in the middle of our lives. Not young, and not old. Realistically, the landscape has become a bit more limited. Is that right? Does that sound right to you Mate?And what does it mean?
II.
It's been on my mind because at work, i'm doing a lot of forward planning stuff, and we plan over a three year horizon. And they're financial years too. So right now we're in the 2017/18 financial year and I'm planning for projects that will get done in 2020/21. Every time I write that date down I think are you fucking kidding me? 2020/21? Can it really be 20 years since the millennium? I mean, I know right now it's not. But it almost is, Mate. It almost is.
