    I’ve always envied people who are passionately into anything. I worked at a place that made a lot of rocket engines for NASA and the government. There were a lot of people there who had wanted to make rockets or space stuff since they were little kids. Some couldn’t believe they got paid to do what they did.

    That was never me. I had a great job and felt lucky to have it, but I was happy enough to retire when I was able to. I just never felt that level of passion about it, or anything really.

    Like I know a guy who is so into music that he got a treble clef tattooed on his arm. I’ve never had anything that was such a part of my identity that I wanted a tattoo of it. It must be cool to have that.
