    In 20 years il be about to turn 50 and my son-to-be will be a man.
    I'd like to be dirtbaggin from one adventure to the next. Working on the Triple Crown and knocking off the Colorado 14ers, notching a first ascent in the Andes, climbing big walls, chasing big waves and fat trout, reading, writing, smoking, and giving all the time I can to anyone who can use it.
    Wife at my side, son forging ahead.

    I hope by that age we can finally give up the need for money and stability and live on experiences.

    Wow rgambs, I want to Hang w/ you when you hang them up. Of course we would have 2 establish a No politics talk rule.
    Caught my first Musky of the year down in Southern Illinous as we speak w/ the oldman.... Stuck a real nice 42" er.

    Some interesting answers here. Enjoyed reading them.

    If I were say 30 to 35 years old this would be my answer:

    In twenty years I hope my family/extended family/friend relationships and support systems are stronger than ever. Good support systems will be very helpful in the future. At the same time, I'd like to learn more about the bigger world out there and keep in touch with others around the world.

    I'd like to learn to both live well and and at the same time live more simply and live more cooperatively while also more self-sufficiently. I'd like to be in a mutually supportive community.

    But in my real life and at my age what I really want in twenty years is to be living closer to the coast again and have done something with my life that I can really feel good about. In twenty years I hope I have better peace of mind.

    These are the real important things in life...it´s all about family and friends/relationships and having a good life full of love and peace. Something you can be proud of...having done good things to people, animals and nature...

    So 20 years before I had a more clear imagination of where I would like to be...
    but sometimes life...don´t leave you alone...
    Some of your wishes you already see coming just can´t become true...

    So I´m just hoping I will be happy...in a world with more love and peace...
    Oh and for sure that my loved ones are healthy and lucky too...

    ...Peace of mind...

    You can always look back fondly on your time here and know that you have passed the torch to some of the younger folks-(hippies) that share a lot of your views.Its my opinion you have had a major impact on driving the conversation on the ideals you find so important.And have been a steady voice of reason on most issues.I think there may be some legacy here,thanks to you.

    Also you built the best thread on this site.The Lounge is your baby.

    in 20 years I hope to be still riding my motorcycle,enjoying my wifes cooking and retirement with her...I'll be 75 at that point and she'll be 82, I hope to spend time with my son and his family (future family) I have very few friends that I concider "Bro's" or "family" but hope to be riding and visiting with them as well and I hope I can come on "The Train" from time to time and and trade stories and opinions with you all, it would be interesting to see how our opinion'sand belief's change or .....not,
    and I doubt in 20 years that will have seen an E.T hahhahhahhaha !

    Just as a reminder that we should be just as concerned as where we will be 20 days from now, versus 20 years, my old boss passed away this morning. He was a heck of a guy. 2 years ago he was diagnosed with Parkinson's five months before his retirement.

    Embrace life and treasure every day.

    Here's to Doug. A great man loved by many.

    I'm sorry, Jason.

    One of my ex-and-beloved bosses died of ALS at 50, shortly after being diagnosed. Also a really good person...I still think of him even though it's been 12 years.

    A valuable prompt to take no one, and nothing, for granted.

    This song was the opener at my very first show in 2000. It was so perfect - beautiful - and I absorb it as both a welcome and farewell, depending on the soul and psyche at the time.

    I see this has hit you hard, and send sincere good wishes from here.
