To Do

586. Take a self-defense course

Updated August 17, 2009 Mostly I just want the boost in confidence that comes from knowing I can take care of myself in many different situations.

585. Tour the Prado, the Louvre, the Hermitage, the Metropolitan and the Uffizi

Updated July 18, 2010 I think these are the most celebrated and famous museums in the world. But visiting them all will require quite a lot of globe trotting. The Museo de Prado is in Madrid, Spain. The Musée du Louvre is in Paris, France. The State Hermitage is in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Metropolitan […]

584. Study witchcraft

Updated April 4, 2010 I was a great reader when I was a kid – there wasn’t hardly anything I loved as much as books. I had piles of them and regularly visited the library to get even more. Somehow, a book about witchcraft and spells came into my possession – I have no idea […]

583. Pick an animal to be my mascot

Humans have always felt deep bonds between themselves and animals.

582. Tour a brewery

Completed April 2005 I toured a brewery and a distillery. On the same day. One right after the other. First, the Guinness Brewery in Dublin. It was one of the most interesting parts of my trip to Ireland. The interactive exhibit there was designed by a branding firm called Imagination. It was absolutely fabulous. I […]

581. Eat a ripe mango

Completed August 2005 I had an ongoing flirtation with him but nothing had ever come of it. One day my phone rang – it was him. He said he had something for me, and could he come over right now to give it to me? Sure, I said. Five minutes later, there was a knock […]

580. Be in the Guinness Book of World Records

Updated December 11, 2009 Longest Ear Hair? Um, I certainly hope not. Largest Collection of Traffic Cones? Where would I keep them all? Most Tattooed Person? No, two tattoos is enough for me. Most Ferrero Rocher chocolates eaten in one minute? Now you’re talking. Seven? That’s it? I’m pretty sure I could beat that one. […]

579. Deliver a baby

Updated July 18, 2010 When I added this to the list, I’m not really sure if I meant to help a laboring woman bring her child into the world, or if I meant that I would be the laboring woman. Either way, this is a feat to brag about and one I’ll be marking complete […]

578. Have my home drawn in charcoal and framed

Updated April 4, 2010 When I finally own my very own home, I’m going to be so proud and I’ll be honored to hire an artist to create a sketch of my home. And I’ll keep it forever, a reminder of my first home.

577. Run through a car wash

Now’s my chance. Stay tuned.
