But if you think of "grown up" as a fungible state, not one that starts at 18 or 21 or 25 or whenever, then what I wanted to be when I grew up was exactly what I did: Pretty much everything I enjoy doing (save cycling) I've done professionally at one time or another. It's a work in progress...I'll be a grown up someday!
