Unless something crazy has happened, I'm in Virginia right now anxious as I've ever been, preparing to be married tomorrow afternoon. I decided this was a very appropriate time to publish my lifetime to-do list.

• Travel. I'd love to go everywhere, but I especially want to see:
  • As much of the US as possible, but particularly:
    • Alaska
    • New York
    • Pensacola again
    • Washington, D.C.
    • Boston
    • Los Angeles
  • Canada
  • Australia
  • England
  • Israel
  • South America
• Finish the book I've been trying to officially begin
• Learn to swim
• Go deep sea fishing
• Go on a serious road trip
• Grow a beard and leave it for a while
• Go to a drive-in movie
• Camp in a forest
• Donate money to worthy causes
• Build a house
• Compose my family tree
• Visit a prison
• Ride a horse
• Forgive the one person I've not
• Paint a decent picture
• Ride in a balloon
• Be the recepient of a surprise party
• Skydive
• Milk a cow
• Have children (?)
• Take some great photographs
• Spend at least 48 hours on an island
• Grow a garden like Papa had
• Walk the Great Wall of China
• Fill a scrapbook
• Throw a huge party and invite everyone
• Gain some true wisdom
• Go a month or more without eating meat

Lame, I know, but that's the way I do things.

There will be several scheduled posts while I'm away. I won't have access to the Internet for a while.
