Mosey back to the flag. Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS: I read a book last week called Living Forward. The authors suggested that most men drift through life and at some point wonder how they got to where they are. They commended living with the desired end in mind, and suggested the excercise of writing your own eulogy, what you would want said about you at your own funeral. This was a sobering and perspective bringing exercise. I realized how much time and mental energy I give to things I don’t really care all that much about, and how much I want to live my daily life for things that really matter. To quote the poet Annie Dillard, “How you spend your days is, of course, how you spend your life.” Live forward!
