But maybe in the future a distant goal is to reach GGL...
I've been thinking about the GFL thing recently as it strikes me that with a bit of application with work over the next 10 years it's not impossible.

But then I remember that it's a case of 'life of the program' rather than 'life of me'

And then I think, that's an acceptable risk.

And then I also think, no way am I working another 10 years, not even close...

Back to the drawing board... or rather WWUTD?

I'll leave that one out there
