National Lampoon's Palestinian Vacation

Alright, Mefites, what did you do on your summer vacation? "Hit the pool a lot." "Sweated like hell." "Got through a lot of summer reading." ... "Went overseas and built a playground for children in a land not my own."

How to rebuild a life? Long....

Reconstructing myself - where to begin? Last night my wife of 22 years announced that she and I were finished as a married couple. Now, at the age of 53, I find myself alone. Presently, I am seeking the anonymity of a bunch of strangers because it doesn't seem hurt as much this way. A cross sectioning if you will. Besides, MetaFites are generally a younger bunch, and they may have a more optimistic perspective on this.

Substantial, sort of-meaningful projects?

I have an entire year of semi-boredom ahead of me. What projects can I do in this time period, that are substantial, inexpensive, can be done on the side whilst attending college, and will help me avoid looking back and regretting a wasted youth? I've made a font, almost completed writing a book, learnt how to do the splits. What else can I do, other than churn out more fonts and books? Are there any lists of to-do things out there?

What would you like to know?

I'm interested in interpersonal relationship research and am looking for ideas for a research project. So- if you were given the opportunity to ask one question about interpersonal relationships (of the romantic kind) what would you most like to have answered? (Not that I am planning to answer it right now, just looking for interesting research topics that may not have been covered in the field yet- or haven't been explored enough).
