My second goal is to learn to speak German, which I have already begun. 

 

Beyond that, keep trying to figure out what life is all about.

I got Rosetta Stone for German last Christmas and started on it but then got derailed by surgery. It's hard to concentrate when on pain meds and muscle relaxers! I plan to start it again. When I lived there I learned enough to get around, order in restaurants, and very basic conversation, but that's been over a decade ago now so I've lost 99.9% of it. The downside to learning over there is once they knew you spoke English they wanted to practice their English with you while you wanted to practice your German with them. Some of the conversations were funny. 

 

Let me know when you're starting it and maybe we can compare notes and speak in code here so people wonder what we're saying. Lol.  :ph34r:

 

As for life.... I don't know how old you are but I'm coming up on 45 in a few months and it's like every time I think I have stuff figured out I find out I don't know jack. Sometimes it's really cool and sometimes it sucks worse than the Jags record during the Gus Era.
