The List

-
I have never made a list of things I wanted to do by the time I was 40, 50 or any other age. I never made an infamous "Bucket List", at least not in writing. I am not against any of these lists, but like the idea of having a "To-Do" list. Here is my first official release of my list. I am including a few items that I have already done, just because I feel they are momentous enough that they have influenced my life.

Learn a second language (Spanish 1976ish)
Complete a marathon (Twin Cities Marathon 2006)
Complete an Ironman Triathlon (IMAZ April 2008)
Take a photo workshop/class
Sell a photograph to someone I do not know
Learn to program better in Perl
Learn to fly an airplane
Visit China

I am sure that there will be things that I will discover later. Some of these things are easier to do and some are harder and will take longer. For now though, this will be my list.

What about you? Do you have a list of things that you want to accomplish in your life? Are you making any progress toward them? Let me know in the comments or head over to Twitter and let me know.

Survey - Photos for donation

Our church is having a silent auction and I thought I would donate a picture. I am thinking 8x10 in a plain black wood frame. Please take a look at the candidates and let me know what you think with the survey to the right. Also, feel free to add comments as well if you think a different size or framing choice would be better. BTW, please pass this link on to others so I can get as many votes as possible for this survey. Thanks!

A Game: Week 2

OK, so first of all, thanks to everyone that dropped by last week, and especially those that took a guess. The winner of week 1 IMHO (and since it is my game, that is what counts) :) is the incomparable Mary !!! Congratulations Mayor, you can add Winner Week 1 to the other titles (Beer Perfessor, Collegiate Superstar and all the others I can't remember right now) you so proudly wear. Now, on to this weeks contest. I just saw this one earlier this week while out to lunch with some friends from work. I am eagerly anticipating some fun guesses here. Also, as Frankie (also runner up for Week 1) mentioned, we seem to have a lot of customized plates, so I was wondering what parts of the country have the highest frequency of custom plates. Stay tuned as I will be putting together a survey by next week if I can. Should be interesting. In the meantime, please leave a comment with a note about how often you see custom plates. I see 5 or more just about every day.

A Game: Week 1

I enjoy reading license plates, so I started taking pictures of them when I could do it safely. So I thought this might be a fun way to share some of them. Sometimes they are pretty self-explanatory, others are more obscure than some of the clues in a New York Times crossword puzzle. Even the apparently simple ones might have alternate meanings. So the game is this. Each week, I will post another picture and you all (if you are really out there) can post your thoughts on the meaning of that weeks plate. Sound like fun? I hope so. Oh, there are no prizes other than the title of "Winner Week #n" if you are the first comment with the selected winner. My decision is final. So, here is this weeks plate: OK, so what do you think this one stands for?
