Ingest food capsule.
Put on jet-pack and fly to the store.
Purchase entertainment modules to insert in newly-installed forehead-slot.

Lets see... I'll be 81 years old if I live that long. I probably won't have much of a memory left so why make up a to-do list.  * raspberry * Maybe I'd better write down to remember to take my morning dump and not to forget my Gerital.

1. Breathe deep and enjoy retirement
2. Hug and kiss my husband
3. Enjoy life

To Do Today:
1. Pick up grandchildren. Try not to comment on the state of music, fashion, cinema, slang, or respect for elders these days. AVOID using the phrase "When I was your age" AT ALL COSTS.
2. Finally make an appointment for that laser eye surgery. You've dealt with myopia too long, for God's sake, and by now it should be safe.
3. Go to store, buy milk, eggs, bread, cloned steak.
4. Reinstall Kazaa Lite K++ Omni-max IP. That dang RIAA's not going to scare me off from downloadable tunes.
5. Check savings account. If good, start retirement now.
6. Pick weeds. You can only put it off for so long, and 40 years and 2 weeks is too long.
7. Buy copy of Fast Food Nation. Learn exactly what you've been shoveling down your craw your entire life.
8. Finally realize you've turned into your father. Contemplate suicide. Then realize you've turned into your grandfather. Forget suicide, life is good.

I had done it that way too, but then I thought that 64 is not that old.

Actually you're right, living in the USA, I'll be working until I'm 85, still unable to retire.

#1 on my list is to dust and thoroughly clean my coffin.  * winking raspberry * I'd be 91 years old by then and probably be taking a dirt nap.

Well, I'll be 75 so I am sure that I will have "put in the chompers" (false teeth) somewhere on my list. Other than that I figure I'll just sit around the rest of the day.

Actually, November 10th, today, is my birthday. Forty years from now? Maybe roll over in my grave. No one in my family history has lived into the 90's.

Since I would hope to be married with kids in 40 years... 1) put a note for my husband saying "I love you" on his desk or somewhere he will see it, 2) help my kids with their homework if they need it and then play soccer in the backyard, 3) call a friend to check up on them, 4) continue my diet (by then I'll probably be fat so I'll need a diet), and 4) go help someone or volunteer for something important at least once a month or a couple of months if I'm not too busy with my own life! And that's it!

I have serious doubts that I will be around writing to do lists in 2043. If I make it to 2020 I'll be doing all right...

My wife would consider acknowledging anything beneath her and taking attention away from herself. Well, day after birthday, only my sister back in Illinois, and my sister-in-law who lives with us acknowledged my birthday. None of our grown up and married kids even called or anything.

I will be 72 so I will probably be doing things like changing my colostomy bag and refilling prescriptions.
