Be happy in a job that I will find to be a challenge and allow me to cross off other thigns on my list.
Visit Ireland, I can trace my dad's side of the family back to around 1750 in Ireland and I'd love to visit the area where my family came from.
Own and restore a house.
Write something that makes it into a academic work/book.
Bicycle up L'Alpe d'Huez.

Get passed my comprehensive exams/finish the PhD thesis.
Survive the upcoming wedding
Get a job related to #1
End baseball and golf as competitive "sports". Relegate to the status of bowling (anything that one can drink and do reasonably well isn't a sport)
Retroactively terminate people I decide are idiots removing them and all who spawned them and possibly could spawn more like them from the genome (remember, you wanted to know what I wanted to do!)
Did I mention take over the universe yet?

12. Finally have the guts to demand that my purchase actually be .99 cents, as many signs erroneously list them. :p

Sure and when you do, I'll be the person behind you as the poor clerk is counting them to 100 to see if you get your penny. Watch out for the trained monkey!!!
