I have the same impression. I have discovered that the more I learn, the
more exciting just standing at a bus stop becomes - what was once just empty
time is suddenly an opportunity to play with ideas, build stories and study
the surroundings.

I have also noted that the more I learn, the more I want to learn and
experience. This causes a problem: I still only have 24 hours in a day and
there are much more stuff I could do that I can do. Hence I constantly have
to make choices about it, but for every exciting think I postpone I know I
can nearly always return to it and do it someday. If I live to 37,000 I will
likely have the time for most of the stuff I currently have postponed, but
will now have an even greater number of future excitement to long for.

This must be a wonderful state of being to possess. You have trained your
mind to be keenly observe and also act as a stage for stories and a forum
for ideas.

For especially you, greatly extended lifespan
And cybernetic enhancement would allow your many ideas to be made real, and
in much shorter time then now. I may need to be enhanced just to keep up
with your output!

I liked how described the excitement of discovery, even when at a bus stop.
I find it so cool that you actually ride the bus! In the United States,
mass transit is often looked down upon as a means of transportation for
people, especially by professionals.

Sincerely,

John Grigg
