[Grins a little.] There's nothing wrong with doing things in the interim of chasing your dreams, eh? Pops was a pirate long before he found me and started his family, but it all worked out all right.

As for permanency... [A slightly bigger grin.] If I could give you that, believe me, I would. The best I can tell you is to take it one day at a time. Do everything you wouldn't want to leave unfinished, but live to the most. Sometimes there's almost something liberating in knowing you've got to make every day count as much as you can.
