next stop: Mt. Pigsah

Maybe it's a lack of conscience, or maybe I just like stealing things, but here is yet another idea that orginated with someone else. I could start singing the classic hit from Chicago, "You're the Inspiration," but I think I'll hold off.

Here is a list of things I would love to do before I die:


take a scenic tour of every state (some states would be more scenic than others)
cook a meal for someone really important, then beam with delight when they ask for seconds
visit all 119 division I-A campuses (currently I've been to about 37)
earn a ph.d. in social psychology
take a missions trip to germany, france, romania, austria, spain
work at a job which requires use of a concealed weapon (phony id optional)
use all the German I've learned over the years
be the best father and husband I can be
win a marathon while dressed as a superhero
teach in a seminary or bible college in Europe
walk on the beach in St. Lucia
take my dad fishing on the Chesapeake

Sweet Blake! My goals include getting a US Patent and owning a cornfield (and putting a wiffleball field in the middle of it). I also made it a goal to skydive, then I did, so I'm 1 for 3.

Those are good ones. I want to drink a gallon of milk in under and hour without puking and eat 10 saltines in under a minute without liquid.

You do that, and I'll have the plastic gallon container bronzed for you.

Do you mean THE Mt. Pisgah? That just so happens to be a cememtery. Why are you in such a hurry to get there? By the time you get everything done on your list you probably will be needing a Mt. Pisgah plot. Care to have me save you one?

I'm gonna add one. Design, own and operate a mini golf course. Now I have three goals again.
