In my experience, all plans are "sand plans". We do the best we can to plan
and prepare, and then wait for nature, life, "Murphy", the universe, or God
(whichever you prefer) to laugh at us, and change the plans. Makes life
interesting, and entertaining. I am always amused at how things I plan
change. I am also amused at how much people rail against the changes that
occur in their own plans. Actually, I am just pretty much constantly
amused...

We have goals and plans to get there but choose each day's activity
according to weather and whim. Choices tend toward physical work.
Can this fairly be called maturity? We are calling it retirement.
