imalion My heavens, what is this, an insidious job interview?

Hmm... There are so many variables, it's hard to say, but a few things:

I intend to still be active in the Martial Arts. I kind of hope we'll have our own school, but that partly depends on how other priorities fall out. I hope to be teaching, though whether this is a major focus of my life or more of a side thing is hard to say.

I also see myself as being involved in one or two things that are more straightforwardly intellectually stimulating. I might finally give in to the siren call of academia. It might be writing, though that would probably be writing plus some other pet project (political commentary or involvement, crusading for better PE for kids, playing with cryptography... honestly, I have plenty of interests, and I just need to be using my brain in a focused way). I'm still kicking around the idea of a PT degree, though I'm dubious about the program...

I want to have children, or teens, in my life to some extent. They don't have to be of my body, I think, and I might not be in a parental role. Though then again, they might be and I might. This could have a huge impact on everything else ;-)

I'm certainly hoping and intending that Craig and I will still be together. We may between us have other long term committed partners. (And whether or not they're partners, I'm kind of thinking I'd like to have someone else around the house, at least some of that time.) That's seeming more likely in terms of where we are now, but it's not exactly the kind of thing you plan out.

I'm feeling like I'd like to spend some reasonably substantial time overseas. And while it would be a blast to spend some of that trekking about... There are a couple of Masters in China I would really, really like to study under. And I'm pondering the idea of some kind of service work (NGO of some kind). And I still haven't completely written off the State Department, though it's not on my short list at the moment.

Most of the rest of it is up for grabs. No clue where I'll live. I hope my body will be firmer, my hair to be more silver... and hey, maybe a few lines on my face? (My baby sister has lines under her eyes, and I do not, what gives?) I'll probably try to publish at least one book before then. *shrug*
