Have You Heard Of "Barnacle's Life"?

Get rid of the "barnacle's life". Barnacle is confronted with an existential decision about where it's going to live.

Sometimes, you'll see men and women, even ones in fortunate circumstances with responsible positions who seem to run out of steam in midcareer. Perhaps life just presented them with tougher problems than they could solve. It happens.
