Wanda Orton revisits unrealized ambitions in a reflective Bay Towns Sun viewpoint, contrasting a paper bag list of missed chances with a life of travel. She laments not pursuing boogie woogie, crafts, genealogy, or civic engagement, and recalls health lessons from sun exposure and aging. She signs off inviting readers to share thoughts.
