What have I become is one of those big questions of life. Often, there is a realization that you have become your parents. This is supposed to be sobering and indicate your assumption that you were going in a different direction has not been realized. I could do far worse than become my parents. My father was a very intellectual, selfless, and calm person. My mother very caring. These are all great traits.
Actually, I think I am becoming one of those characters in Grumpy Old Men. My sudden interest in ice fishing seems to fit with this assessment. It could be worse. I could see myself becoming a character in On Golden Pond.
Anyway, if you find a rotting perch in the back seat of your car, it may have been me.
