I haven't shared these with my beloved wife.
6. Sell a feature movie screenplay to Universal Studios for $22,222,222.22.
5. Climb Mt. Vinson in Antartica.
4. Run with the bulls in Pamplona and walk El Camino de Santiago
3. Defeat The Antichrist in a game of chess as soon as he/she/it goes public
2. Kiss Kathrine Zeta Jones
1. Buy the last company that laid me off for 1% of book value, lay off
all the officers, directors, executives, and managers; onshore all the
jobs they previously offshored in the last thirty years; give promotions
and lavish raises and bonuses to everyone who is left; sell it back to
the sellers for 200% what I paid for it. Write a book about it. Produce a
movie about it. Teach the case in MBA schools all across the world.
...who's kissed Catherine Zeta Jones.
Does that count?
Sorry, just stirring the pot
Missed the last one.
You'd have more fun organizing, but you might go to jail.
1. Mt. Erebus.
2. Mt. Kailash.
3. Space.
and the Democratic National Convention with Tim Kelley
Go back in time and make sure JFK and Jackie live through Dallas, and keep Officer Tippet safe.
And make sure Marina Oswald is safely away from her prick husband.
That’s it, Lord.
If I have to wait for another life in an alternate dimension to go back in time, that’s cool. If you can see your way clear to let me be 21, a White House intern, and an invitee to a few of JFK’s pool parties, that would be the cherry on top of the icing.

I don't have Hulu, but I might have to see about joining or perhaps purchasing the DVD.
Edit: I went ahead an purchased the DVD from Amazon.
Without your recommendation, it would have been one of those things I would have kept putting off.
I preferred “A Time To Remember” by Stanley Shapiro.
“Replay” by Ken Grimwood was in the same time travel vein. It got a Best Novel Award for 1988, as I recall. It was excellent
I've had three in-person auditions but haven't gotten the call yet.
I'd like to publish a novel someday. I've got a few drafts in progress but haven't worked on them in a while.
Travel-wise I have too many left to list them all, but I'm hoping to get to London, Rome, Paris, Prague, Vienna, and a few other places.
Don't die in pain, cold and alone.
If it doesn't come true, it just wasn't meant to be.
wanna go.
That makes it easier to justify impulsive decisions like flying to New York on three days notice to take a girl to a Billy Joel concert at the Garden. Or to buy a $200 ticket for Elton John next week. I've definitely always wanted to see Sir Elton at a glamorous venue like US Bank Arena. Better add those to the list so I can cross them off while there's still time.
One of these days, I'll finally see Van in concert. I almost did that the week after Billy Joel, but ended up having a conflict.
I also check out Red Rocks every once in awhile to see if anyone is worth playing to head out there.
Had I had one before, I struck out.
Solo Dinner with Fr. Ted
Interview w/ Muhammed Ali
Interview w/John Wooden
They all died on me.
So now your question prompts the following:
A year of Month Long Trips
Dinner at The White House
An Honorary Degree from a Prestigious University that means absolutely nothing.
Solo dinner with shawno3's MIL
Interview with the Michigan football program
Interview with all left lane squatters
I'm realizing things I set back in 1991 that I've already been working on:
1) Visit the 7 Wonders of the world (5 more to go)
2) See each major team, play its sport in it's home stadium and include Wimbeldon, World Cup, etc.
3) Spend at least a weak in every country. (I need to recount, but last year got Cuba, Fiji, China, & UK ticked off the list)
1) trip to Austrailia / New Zealand with wife and family
2) Take my Daughter back to Ethiopia when she is an adult
3) live longer Sprack (it used to be survive on NDnation longer than Atticus, but that's another story)
1. Trip to Bali
2. See a Rugby or Soccer World Cup
3. Backpack in Yellowstone NP.
Yellowstone is heavenly. Go.
Yellowstone will hopefully be on then agenda in 2020. This years it’s the Smokey’s.
Trip to Bora Bora.
Trip to Vegas during the NCAA tourney (doing that this year)
Taking the Chunnel train.
What's great about it is you start in central London and end up in central Paris (or vice versa) in less time than it takes to ride the slooooow-boat-to-China South Shore to South Bend from Chicago.
Other than that, it's a European high speed train. And security is not normal train station security (i.e. practically nonexistent), it's airport security. Oh, and the UK is outside the Schengen area, so you're going to go through passport control and customs.
Oh, and when you're in the Chunnel, there's nothing to see out the window. Not even downtown Gary, Indiana.
But it does beat what's in second place by a country light year.
I guess I have no reason to live.
Don’t give up!
(Come back to the pit!)
And it's not a particularly nice one, at that. Still cool to be able to say you did it, I guess.
I took the Eurostar back in 1999. The train itself was nothing special. I doubt that it has changed dramatically in the last 20 years.
Or are they civil, cordial, safe and clean?
Hanging off a windshield wiper on the back.
Thank you.
