There are moments when you reach midlife when certain questions come. Should you find some time to see some of the 80 treasures made by man elucidated by Dan Cruickshank that stand for human ingenuity and magnificent achievements like Macchu Picchu, Ankor Wat, Mesa Verde, Taj Mahal?
Should you learn Italian and enjoy some time in Tuscany? Drive along the Amalfi Coast, visit Venice? Or read some of the 100 great books?
Should you do something inspiring? Something noble?
How does one proceed in a lost cause?
