Still thinking about the future

A few days ago I mentioned realizing, after conversations with two women aged 95, that I may have twenty years or so left on  this earth and I should find something productive to do. Mind you I am keeping busy with a variety of volunteer activities.  This morning, for example, I took my monthly turn babysitting for a gaggle of toddlers so their moms can attend MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers).  I was not alone.  There were four of us grandma aged women vs (I mean taking care of) eight toddlers ranging in age from 1 to 5.  Pretty good odds actually except we had three criers and I got to change a very poopy diaper which brought back some long surpressed memories. But I digress.  What to do for the next 20 years?  I did hear one idea on the news this morning.  NASA is looking for volunteers for a Mission to Mars. Hmmm... weightlessness, a space suit to cover up wrinkles and gray hair, amazing views, I wonder where I can get an application form?
