@scottsantens to be fair, being among the pensioned plateau, I much enjoy my (very Cagean) purposeful #purposelessness

It's wonderful. If I want to get up at 9 to play a non-paying community gig, I do it, because getting paid, or the need to get paid, is not my purpose. Without pesky purpose, I can go with the flow of life, handle what comes up as it comes up.
