Instead of spending our healthiest, most energetic years working, we should spend the first decades of adulthood with a guaranteed basic income, playing and travelling and having fun, and then go to work until we drop.A few things. My younger sister, who has always loved to travel and is just home from a six-plus country vacation in Europe, announced that she’d never do that type of strenuous travel again.
The best I came up with started with getting out of bed at 4 a.m. and reaching our destination 23 hours later! And that was assuming no delays, which, as we all know, is a big assumption.We need to travel on points which means we don’t have as many choices, but even if we were paying for first class, or better still, even if someone else was paying for us to fly first class, I don’t know if we’d go.
First of all, the States are out. Neither my sisters, Newman nor I have any intention or desire to go to the States ever again. Why anyone would, short of a family emergency, is beyond my imagination. There’s nothing like having your baby sister turn 70 to remind you of the time you hope you have left and how you want to use it, and it’s not getting up before daybreak and spending hours on planes and in airports and walking the equivalent of a tri-athlete marathon dragging luggage.JANICE WELLS: Pulling ADHD out of the ‘never heard it in our day’ attitudes
