  • I was trying to figure out how 11 was hard to do since I do it at least once a year and you live practically on the ocean. And then I remembered that you're a West Coaster and the sun doesn't rise over your ocean. So come out with me to VA some time. This fall my parents are going to move into their home a couple blocks from the beach.

  • Hehe you picked some good ones. I forgot about some of those things, like #6 on what you want to do, and I think I would probably like to do your completed #3 if I haven't already. Oh I definitely haven't cause I never finished Mansfield Park.

  • that's an inspiring list! i want to come up w/ one of my own

  • hey, you can combine #4 or 5 with #7, giving you less to do.

    btw, tozer has a collection of all major works on cd (to read on computer, not audio)...

  • haha, mikey. the point is not to have less to do; i'm not aiming for efficiency!  i really want to do all those things. :)
