1. Write a book.
2. Visit Rome. (Accomplished)
3. Attend Oktoberfest in Munich.
4. Learn to fly
5. Get a metal working shop and forge.
6. Visit Normandy.

Rome is absolutely amazing. A++ Would visit again.

I had the opportunity to visit Rome while I was in the Navy and I spent two days there. The first day meeping sucked. Not because of Rome, but because the stupid sponsored tour was awful. Example: the tour spent a grand total of 15 minutes inside St. Peter's. It wasn't a total loss because I got to see Circus Maximus and a little bit of the catacombs.

The second day made up for everything day one lacked. The day started in Naples. I bought a ticket for the first class coach on the train to Rome. The difference between first class and the rest of the train is that in first class they don't allow the gypsies to hassle you.

I had breakfast on the train and enjoyed the scenery as we traveled north up the coast. We arrived in Rome and took a taxi to the Vatican. I got to spend about 4 hours in St. Peter's and took the opportunity to go into the cupola. The view of Rome for the top of the basilica was tremendous. We also got to enter the crypt below St. Peter's where all the Popes are entombed. That will rock your socks off. If you get the opportunity, go twice.

From there we went to the Vatican Museum and to the Sistine Chapel which had only been reopened a few years earlier. It had been closed for restoration.

We left the Vatican and headed towards the TIber. As we approached a bridge over the river, we were hurried across by heavily armed police. Just down the street there was a riot. That was pretty awesome to see.

We wandered to the Parthenon where we had lunch right in front of this architectural marvel. We made our way to the Forum and from there past the Spanish Steps and on to the Coloseum. Pictures do not do this structure justice.

I kept pestering the guys I was with that I wanted to see Trevi Fountain so we finally found it. I was bummed because the fountain was shut down for restoration.

We made our way back to the train station and the trip back to Naples was uneventful. The trip is one the best times I had in the Navy and something I will never forget. I could not recommend this destination more.

THEN YOU WILL BE RIPE FOR DEATH'S PICKINGS.

We always think we have plenty of time to the many things on our 'to do- list before we lay down for our long dirt nap until we find out just how short our time really is. My list is rather simple.

1. Go to across the border to Canada just to say I did.
2. Sit on top of Cadillac Mountain and watch the sunrise.
3. Drink shots of expensive tequila on my birthday.
4. Make a quilt out of all my old jeans.
   
5. Scan photographs to send to the kids.
6. Attend a LS BBP.

Tantrum: 4) Buy beachfront property on the Central Coast of California.

Please..........dont.

I'd like to do alot of things. My five most important would probably be...

-Travel to Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Alaska, NYC, and go on a European Castle tour extravaganza! Spain and the French Riviera would be nice too. -Get married and have kids -Obtain employment that would make all the above possible followed by a prompt retirement. -Come up with a get rich scheme that works(for me at least). -This seems to be a theme amongst us LS'ers- write a screenplay or book and sell it for obscene amounts of money only to have a producer hire someone to 're-write' the script into a Santa Claus 5 movie and cast Andy meep in Tim Allen's role.

(1) Finish my Ph.D. so I can be a Dr. (but not a real doctor, unfortunately). (2) Start a company and make it into a multibillion-dollar empire (that does no evil). (3) Start a chain of boarding schools with the most hardcore curriculum ever; get the most hardcore teachers; pick out talented kids from all around the world and forge awesome scientists, politicians, and teachers out of them. (4) Invent a cheap, renewable, portable power source that does not suck. (5) Create a neutral organization whose sole purpose is to mediate between conflicting parties and people all around the world; its purpose would be to create the lists of differences between points of view and proposing viable compromises and mutually acceptable points of view.

/ 2=3=5 When do we start?

1. own a carver
2. start a modest property empire
3. make a noticed contribution to society
4. be with my current wife
5. learn to fly a helicopter.

1. Use what I have learned to actually contribute to society as a whole instead of just furthering my own ambitions.
2. Finish the things I have been writing (in my head and on paper).
3. Build a Tesla Coil.
4. Build and fly a personal aircraft.
5. Die with my family surrounding... So I can fart as a final act of levity.

Phlebas: 3. Build a Tesla Coil.

I should. That would be more than just fun. Wireless energy... The idea of batteries charged by proximity to the Source... The ability to charge my neighbors' flourescent bulbs at any hour of the night...

Yesh

1. Begin to write something and actually finish it
2. Have it be acclaimed, and then taught in school once I'm gone.
3. Visit every place with historical significance that I want to. (there's too many to list)
4. Write the new, definitive American novel, as Fitzgerald did with "Gatsby"
