A random assortment of the many things I want to do before I die.

Things I would like to learn how to make:

• candles
• whisky
• soap

Foods I would like to eat:

• Baked Alaska
• Fugu

Travel related goals:

• Make a Trans-Atlantic crossing by boat
• Stay one night in a luxury hotel
• Take a road trip along Route 66
• Visit each of the seven continents (four down, three to go)
• Ride in a helicopter

Other things I would like to do:

• Get a Ph.D.
• Write a travel memoir
• Finish my novel
• Name aforementioned novel. Unfortunately Stranger in a Strange Land is already the name of a sci-fi classic. I didn’t know that when I chose the name of my (sci-fi) novel in progress.
