Wish List.

(My girlfriend Marissa recently compiled a list of the things she would do if time, age, money, and experience were irrelevant. I thought it was clever, so here is what I would do.)

1. Embark on the greatest road trip of all time. Starting in Iowa and ending in Iowa, it would be based on no other plan. Just simply mileage, music, and sights to be fully taken in. On this trip I would aspire to take in every Major League Baseball Stadium and swim in both oceans that border the United States. I would also enjoy the company of my lovely lady friend.

2. Buy a house, a nice house, and turn it into a home. I would start making memories, start fixing things, and begin a new life on my own.

3. I would hunt Brett Favre. Like so many deer he has slain, I have my sights set on revenge, well, or that purple number four jersey.

4. I would continue to learn, but instead of being in the classroom, I would learn by doing. I want to conduct ecological field studies all across the globe, and with unlimited finances, I would be able to. You can never be to smart, and you can always be dumb.

5. I would create a musical outlet for myself. With unlimited resources, I would be able to compile a group of musicians I enjoy as people, and truly have a great time with them. I would be on the phone with old friends, and I would be hanging at the studio with Robbie.

6. I would relax. In a hammock. And wait for the end of time.
