Every 1st day of the month, at 12 noon, the Public Warning System in Singapore plays a chime reminiscent of church bells.

When I was much younger, I wondered which church it was that was able to do that so loudly and so close by.

These days, I refer to it as the "What have you been doing with your life?" bell.

And, in the past year, I can't say I have a very good answer.

It's been quite a roller-coaster ride, and I'm not a fan of roller-coasters.

Some day soon, though, I will have a great answer to that question.

And I look forward to it.
