I have thought a lot about this same subject.  I am 10 years behind you but 
this is the first time I really noticed the spinning clock.  Last summer I 
was helping set a corner post when I just had to stop and sit for a 
while.  For some reason all I cold think about was that I am 6 months away 
from 60.  Can I do all I want?  Will it be possible?  How best would it be 
to spend my remaining time?  All thoughts that are spinning around.  For 
now I want to continue roving around the country seeing what I can but for 
how much more time?
