On this World AIDS Day, I am reminded that I went through college thinking we were all going to die of AIDS. I went through my teens thinking we were all going die in a nuclear war. I never thought I'd live past 30. Didn't even think about it. Now I'm 47 and realizing that I need to plan for a long life. Not just living for the moment, or getting through the days, but actually making thoughtful choices that will help make the next 47 years as pleasant and interesting as possible. Hey Gen Xers, we're still alive! What the hell do we do now?
