The Grand Canyon - run, hike, camp, float, you name it
Bungee jump
Surf
Learn French, maybe Swahili too
Dive Belize
See the Amazon River
Take a sailing trip - on a big sailing ship
Minimize my stuff, maximize my memories

Things I know
Love is a fabulous emotion, perfectly wonderful.
It is just a feeling, if there is no commitment.
Commitment is how you fulfill a relationship, not love. A parent who loves but neglects a child gets - deserves - no slack. A person who loves another but cannot commit - well, that person cannot expect that "relationship" to last, whether that is a marriage or a friendship or something in between. I mean effort, paying attention, listening and hearing, asking, working, trying, trusting, being worthy of trust.
On the distinction between "a marriage or a friendship," the two relationships are not mutually exclusive. The best marriage (or romantic relationship) is one in which love, lust, friendship, trust, and the practical aspects are all present. A married couple who are not friends, best friends, merely have a business arrangement.

Clever! The tail of the mouse (or whale) is the USB piece which connects the mouse, wirelessly, to your computer. That may go on my Christmas list.

Fast Company reports that today, "Jawbone announced the grand project they've been quietly working on for years: A wearable band called Up, which is infused with sensors and smartphone connected, allowing you to track your eating, sleeping, and activity patterns."
What a good idea! I love to see smartphones put to a purpose other than gaming. Jawbone's idea will give us our personal HAL/trainer to keep us motivated. "I'm sorry, Jennifer, I can't let you eat that." Perfect!

Things I know
"Maybe I didn’t love you quite as often as I could have. And maybe I didn’t treat you as good as I could have. If I made you feel second best, girl, I’m sorry I was blind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind."
Fuck you, Willie. That's not good enough.
