2006 To-Do List

1. Watch the Pittsburgh Steelers win Super Bowl XL. Whether the broadcast takes place on network television or on my own private in-head network TBA.
2. Mount a campaign via the internet and U.S. mail to browbeat the Mattel Corporation into creating a Kryzstzof Kieslowski version of their popular Scene It DVD board game. Imagine the possibilities: the group of players selects a film clip question. The DVD displays a washed-out shot of Warsaw, then follows up with, "Which Kieslowski film is this clip from?" Cut to the assembled faces of the confused.
3. See/identify 125 different birds.
4. Sit through three theatrical showings of Malick's The New World, preferably on three consecutive nights.
5. Organize a party or event commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the forging of my car and have the Town of McCandless recognize this party or event as an Official Town Party or Event. Dan Laugharn will be contacted about design of a logo.
6. Spend a week in Carolina in June or August.
7. Spend a week in Toronto in September.
8. Spend more than a week in California at some point in the year.
9. Reawaken my Spanish proficiency and transmit that to my daughters.
10. Acquire a record player.
