Things to do....

before I go:

• See all of the continents at least once
• Speak at least one other language fluently
• Write a novel and have it published
• Learn to express myself musically (singing or playing an instrument)
• Fall in love with someone WHO LOVES ME
• Learn how to tune up a car and do an oil change
• Find a satisfying, challenging and lucrative career
• Live, at least for a while, in another country
• Learn to golf reasonably well
• Fly first-class
• Live in a house w/a garden and a huge wrap-around porch
• Own shoes that were hand-made for me
• Do something worthy of a newspaper headline (an obit doesn't count)
• Be there when the Cubs win the World Series (maybe I'd settle for a pennant)
• Spend a weekend at a beach house (not in the Midwest, thank you)
• See my first love again
• Learn to swim (it's the underwater part that gets me)
• Have a hairstyle that both stylish and classic (and that I can recreate on a regular basis)
• Get one of my ideas patented or copyrighted or at least, sold
• Witness the miracle of birth
