Basically I am saying, I am giving you opportunity to proselytize me

What can I say, Tink, except that I found KMAN's list more than
adequate.

As to the other stuff, you may recall that you made some innane comment
about whatever I do ending up on a scrap heap (I can't recall your
exact words, but that pretty-much sums it up). And I explained to you
that whatever I do likely will NOT end up on a scrap heap but, would,
rather, live long past my physical demise. This legacy (for lack of a
better word right now) constitutes my after-life. I'm content with
that. That gves me a warm fuzzy feeling right now.

By way of example, I was up at the field hockey clubhouse last night.
In one of the meetings for novice coaches, I saw 6 girls/young women
who I had coached earlier in their careers. They may well have their
own motives for wanting to coach, but I also know them well enough to
know that by modelling behavior, I influenced them (and I know for a
fact they'll use many of the coaching drills and tactics I used). So,
already a "legacy". Now, if these young ladies have a similar impact on
their players, isn't that one hell of an "after-life" even before I'm
gone. That, Tink, is what an after-life means to me -- making
differences in peoples' lives that they'll not soon forget.
