Live your time lavishly

"I don't pretend to understand what the physicists mean by time, but for people, it isn't so-and-so many measured units; it's events, experiences. A man who crowds his life and dies young has lived longer than one who got old sitting in tame sameness."
--Poul Anderson, The Boat of a Million Years (1989)

According to Poul, I'm living it right.

Just so long as you don't die young, Jen!

"A traveller! By my faith, you have great reason to be sad: I fear you have sold your own lands to see other men's; then, to have seen much and to have nothing, is to have rich eyes and poor hands."
--William Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act 4, Scene 1
