When I was younger I used to think that I could be anything I wanted when I grew up. When did this idea of endless possibility become some silly childhood fantasy?
Here’s my list of things I’ve at one time or another wanted to be when I grow up.
- Comic Book Artist
- Dinosaur Expert*
- Stephen King
- Professional Baseball Player
- Circus Clown*
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Fireman
- Hobo
- Herpetologist*

- Marine Biologist
- Professional Skateboarder*
- Cowboy*
- Fabulously Wealthy

Hopefully it’s never too late to grow up and become anything you want.
