Anything else you would like to share? I am embarking on what I call my Mulligan: my second life. The do-over. (Not that my first life was a shot poorly-played; indeed, I think it was pretty magnificent.) Do you remember, when you were about 15 years old, that one magical summer when you didn’t have your driver's license yet, and you weren’t old enough to work, but you got to go out with your friends, maybe to the mall, yet you had a home and were fed, and could dream all you wanted about your life? What did you want to be, that magical summer? What were your dreams? What did you think life would bring you? I’m in that magical space again right now, looking at what life will bring me in my next phase. I read about the Blue Zones and Dr. Peter Attia, but more intensely, Dr. David Sinclair and the possibilities for living another 50 years. What would I do for a second career? Would I use my savings to go back to college, or build a business, or write a blockbuster? I don’t know yet. I just know that the possibilities are endless.
