I’m just as likely to visit the Lost & Found in my 60th year as I did in my 6th year when I was in kindergarten. Here’s what’s gone missing and what’s shown up on the verge of my big 6-0h...Oh...Oh.
Lost

1. Filling my brain: knowledge
2. Trying to be interesting
3. Desire to be a politician
4. My libido (is there an iPhone app for finding it?)
5. Need to impress
6. Daily devouring of the NY Times
7. Ability to entertain with cocktail party chatter
8. Obsession with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”
9. Guilt that I’m an awful surfer
10. The tyranny of “Attaining”
11. Need to help everyone who asks
12. Belief that 6 hrs sleep gives 2 more work hrs
13. Being scared of yoga
14. Pursuit of happiness
15. Hipster

Found
