I'm sort of like that. Writing some books I may at last be grown up enough to write. Travelling with my wife. Learning to fingerpick properly - that should take me comfortably forever, which is nice. Like always having books you haven't read.
Luck has an enormous amount to do with it.
We have to wrap this up. Do your work. The rest follows, or it doesn't. The work is what matters. That may be the one thing I really know for sure.
