What if you only had one year?

What if you only had one year?

If you knew you had one year left, how would you spend your time?

A while back I realised my answer would be “play guitar” - even though I’ve not played for 20-odd years. Every time I try nowadays I get frustrated as my fingers don’t move the way my brain expects them to.

But I figure I should try again. So I’m going to do at least five minutes per day until my fingers move by themselves, like they used to (my style was kind of unique, where my left hand just sort of did things and my right hand was generally useless).

This stuff is important.  The answer to that question can tell you a lot about what you really want in life - and for me, I don’t want to spend my time sat in front of a computer, writing code.  So much so that I returned the new Mac I just bought and am now scouring eBay for Les Paul guitars (cherry sunburst or tiger-stripe, solid pickups, preferably gold).  

What about you? How will you spend your final year? And does anyone want to join a band?
