A To-Do List

I always think of fabulous things to blog about when I'm at work or in the car. I never remember them by the time I get home. So tonight I'm going to put down in words some of the things I want to do and places I want to visit in the near future. I'd like to be ambitious and say I'll do these things in the next year, but to play it safe, let's give it three years. Or maybe five.

Things I want to do:
1. Skydive (again). I haven't been since my 21st birthday. I also went twice while I was living in Orlando in 1997.
2. Visit Spain. I don't know why. I don't really know anything about the country, but it seems appealing. Either that or go back to Switzerland.
3. Rent a houseboat at Lake Shasta.
4. See a taping of the David Letterman Show. I talked to and have a picture with Rupert Jee, but that's the closest I've gotten to seeing Dave live. And that's not really very close.
5. Go river rafting. It's so accessible in this part of the country, but we still haven't managed to go.

And some less specific things I want to do:
1. Explore more caves. Especially near St. Helen's, there are tons of caves in this area. I want to climb around more of them.
2. Read more books. I go through phases. Sometimes I make lots of time for reading and go through a book or two a week. Then I take a month or two hiatus.
3. Get out of the "Beaverton Bubble" more often. There's so much in this city I haven't experienced.
4. See friends I haven't seen in forever--mostly out-of-towners. You know who you are.
