Things to do Before I die

On Saturday night, when I was supposed to be falling asleep early in order to get up at 4:00 a.m. to go to Washington, I kept thinking about Steph's "Things to Do Before I Die" post. I kept imagining my own list of things. Here's what I came up with:

1. ride the streetcar named Desire in New Orleans
2. live in Manhattan with enough money to do culture
3. travel to Australia
4. become fluent in another language
5. write something very important in my field
6. have a threesome
7. learn to be a mechanic
8. hike in the Alps
9. own a baby grand piano
10. live near the ocean again
11. see the 7 wonders of the world
12. learn more about the history of art
13. see an opera in Prague
14. cruise the canals in Venice
15. ride in a helicopter
16. dive around the coral reef
17. own a fabulous suit
18. drive on the the autobahn

That's a really intersting list. Knowing how to fix cars could be very useful. And I bet the ladies would love that. Is there any particular car you'd drive on the autobahn? Something really fast I guess. I've done number 1, and, um, number 6. I can't believe I just admitted that in public!! Yikes! It was a long time ago.

I always think I should drive a volkswagon on the autobahn. I know, it doesn't seem very sexy, but it seems fitting somehow. Maybe a Lamborghini would be better though. Or better still, a car that would be fun to fix when I learn to be a mechanic and a car big enough to have a threesome in! I'll work on it...
