What Do You Still WANT To Do?

[Bel-Cam Jos]

As a companion thread to the "What Have YOU Done?" are there goals and plans you haven't yet accomplished, but want to? They say it's good to have goals, but trying to achieve them is part of the thrill.

BEL-CAM'S TOP TEN (OR WHATEVER) STILL-LEFT-TO-DO LIST:

[JimJamBonds]

Off the top of my head and in no particular order (other then the first one and that Brewer thing ):

Be happy in a job that I will find to be a challenge and allow me to cross off other thigns on my list.

Visit Ireland, I can trace my dad's side of the family back to around 1750 in Ireland and I'd love to visit the area where my family came from.

Own and restore a house.

Write something that makes it into a academic work/book.

Bicycle up L'Alpe d'Huez.

Visit Normandy.

[pbarnard]

1. Get passed my comprehensive exams/finish the PhD thesis.
2. Survive the upcoming wedding
3. Get a job related to #1
4. End baseball and golf as competitive "sports". Relegate to the status of bowling (anything that one can drink and do reasonably well isn't a sport)
5. Retroactively terminate people I decide are idiots removing them and all who spawned them and possibly could spawn more like them from the genome (remember, you wanted to know what I wanted to do!)
6. Did I mention take over the universe yet?
