"So what are you up to?"
I'm beginning to fear that question. My answers are furtive and futile
attemt to justify myself. Obviously wasting something or other. People
look at me funny.
Oh, no - wait - it's just me.
No-one else has any real problem with what I'm (not) doing. Heck, middle-aged people with good careers envy this drifting and eagerly listen to the options, the side-projects. I ask "what're you up to" and it's The Same Old. Then they ask me more about my plans and smile.
"...some of the most interesting forty-year-olds I know still don't."
