Not likely. I'm pretty happy where I am. Though Europe is kind of tempting at times. So much going on there that interests me, esp. musically.

WYE go back to school to get a new degree/diploma/certificate just for fun/interest, not career?

Yes, already possess a double major BS in mathematics/physics, a JD (basic law degree) and an LLM (Master of Law). But love history so a BA in history (German language, wouldn't mind studying at University of Göttingen and also wouldn't mind a Masters or PhD in physics.

Safari would be nice but a good natural zoo is probably okay.

Revisit your teens or revisit your twenties?

Play, definitely. I couldn't dance if someone were firing a gun at my feet!

WYE ride on a bus through the Himalayas?

I could see it happening. More likely to see them that way than by trekking at my age and physical condition.

WYE sleep under the stars, not even a tent?

Yes, we've done that. Weather permitting.

Not sure I have it in me anymore but it strikes me as a fun idea.

WYE change a vacation plan for political, environmental, or social concerns?

Yes. Some counties we'll never go to or visit. Mexico is dangerous. Rampant corruption in police at local, state, and federal levels; gang-related violence is at epidemic levels through-out the country as is kidnapping and extortion. Popular tourist destinations are increasingly vulnerable.

Mexico is dangerous.

We had a port stop in Ensenada on our cruise but that's a relatively calm, stable area and we were on shore for all of a couple hours. Visited a nice little, free museum. Lovely place, actually.

New question to reboot the thread:

WYE enter a dance competition assuming you had time to learn the steps and a good partner?

I would love to! I retired from the US Navy and love the ocean. But alas, my health would not allow for such a wonderful adventure.

WYE Go camping alone for two weeks deep inside a national park with no electronics? (No smartphone, laptop, or tablet.)

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

I might try it. I'm not the most adept wilderness but a break from electronics probably would be a good thing.

WYE do a "round the world" cruise?

Yes, I would! I love the sea.

WYE go skydiving?

Maybe, I think I might back out last minute because of nerves

WYE go cliff diving?

Nope. Getting close to the edge of a cliff (or any high place) gives me serious willies. And I'm a terrible swimmer, too.

WYE drag race another driver on a public road?

As far as skydiving goes, I have jumped many times in the military, including HALO jumps. Halos are unbelievable! If you have not done one, there is no way to actually explain what it is like! After my initial HALO, the first thing I said was, "That was better than sex!"

Then there is camping, which I greatly enjoy. The only electronic device I would miss is my computer. I only use desktops. Believe it or not, in my present physical condition, skydiving is possible, but a long camping trip, especially alone, is not.

WYE run a half-marathon?

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Probably not. Never been a distance runner. Even in school, I was a better sprinter than distance runner. I think my son is working up to a half, though.

WYE do a triathlon (I actually had now-retired co-worker who did them)?

WYE take a long scenic route instead of a quicker one?

Yes, we often do. Prefer scenery and unexpected treasures found along routes less travelled..

BC (before children) used to run 8 miles almost daily in 50-55 minutes. (Three girls turning 6-4-4 in June stopped that, but push a stroller with them 4 miles daily with our dog trotting alongside). So could probably work my way into doing a half marathon.

Likely not entirely. There's valid reasons for humans to be consuming animal protein. I do have the odd vegan/vegetarian meal, though (e.g. when I have falafel for lunch).

WYE pack up and move to another country for non-career reasons?

No. Due to health concerns, I live near family.

You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.
