OK - here we go. I made out this list last year.

1) Dance with my Daughters and Daughter-in-law at their weddings - (at this rate I may not know if my 20yr old ever gets married, our 4yr old still has 20 years!)
2) Bicycle across the US with my Son or Daughter (plenty-o-Pleicans to pitch a tent in the yard along the way!)
3) Visit the ol Sod (Ireland) - not yet
4) Author a patent - done
5) Publish a Multi-volume set of reference books - underway with Industrial Press, 1st volume due to press 12/07
6) Publish a "Creative Non-fiction" novel - drafted with a possible press date in 2009
7) Smell my grandchildrens hair after their first bath - hopefully 20 years from now
8) Learn to Play Linus & Lucy tune (the Charlie Brown Theme Song) on the piano - not even close yet
9) Completely restore the Targa and get sorted out to race maybe - in the next 10 years
10) Retire to Newport RI with my Wife

Before I die I want to learn how to live forever.

bang 2 chicks at the same time....

Oh wait, I thought this was the million dollar question... ;)

loop de loop in an open cockpit bi-plane........

If I thought of ten? I'd think of a different ten a minute or two later.

I married my beautiful blonde childhood sweetheart and we stayed married (short two weeks) 20 years. Had two beautiful, heathy children and I saw them through college, marriage (one so far), grad school (one) and now my son's wife is pregnant with my first grandchild. I was the first person in my family to graduate from college and first to get a graduate degree - neither of my parents finished high school. I am the only person in my family to visit Europe and I am much more heavily traveled thsan the rest of them combined. I am 52 and in great health...so for the most part I have accomplished all I need to. IMHO, the only thing all but a VERY few of us do that outlives us is to bring up children intp good, decent citizens. After that? Money and recognition and fame fades. Other than perhaps a dozen or two people from your parents generation, who remembers anyone that died before you were born? Its those you leave behind to carry on that count.

P.S. And not to be entirely serious, If granted one wish? PLEASE GOD, give me Selma Hayek!!!

Yet-to-be-done...

My adventures seem to just open up in front of me, so I haven't done much planning related to leisure. Life is good. I'm doing work I love. Top of my industry. Yadda yadda. I have a few minor goals that will be easy to meet, and I thought I had nothing to list here. But I just relized there is one thing. I really, actually do want to run with the bulls in Pamplona. Perhaps I should get that done before my doctor prescribes a walker.

I had plans once. I do not have any at the present time....maybe never.

Interesting thread. I need to sit down & compose my list.

Just this evening I walked out of a restaurant with my wife & son & I saw a Cayman S. I told them someday I want to purchase a Cayman S on the European delivery plan & drive it around Europe for a couple of weeks with my wife. I want to see Italy, including the Ferrari museum, see Germany & the Porsche museum, drive on the Autobahn, etc.

Other things I really want to do include attend a 3-day Skip Barber racing school & go to the Monterey Historics in a "big" year (e.g., Ferrari as the honored marque). I am going to do something I really want to do this fall: go to Rennsport Reunion III.

I was watching a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond once & Raymond decided he needed to write down all the things he wanted to accomplish in the remainder of his life. His wife read the list & one of them was, "Never throw up again". Funny, but talk about setting the goal low.
