maintain a list of future goals

Have a soulful Christmas 2009

Get a new home entertainment system – buy new speakers

Buy a house – I am waiting, I am getting impatient but the market in San Francisco is not even close to bottoming out. I don’t want to buy anywhere else. I wish people weren’t so insane so here.”

Go backcountry skiing next winter and be in good enough shape to avoid embarrassment and catastrophe.

Ski more often – Planning on it

Organize Memorial Day and/or July 4th parties for 2010

Develop land

Have a soulful Christmas 2008 – Already have a vacation rental booked for that week, 9 days this time. Now I need to start thinking about activities that bring out the soul and squelch the commercialism

buy new speakers

Get a new home entertainment system – Expanded this goal, although I should buy speakers first, I really want something completely new.

Go backcountry skiing next winter and be in good enough shape to avoid embarrassment and catastrophe.

Ski more often – I am thinking I can get into shape easier by doing a lot of downhill skiing this winter and spring. If I get into good enough shape and have I will consider backcountry skiing, but I am itching to do a bunch of downhill. I am thinking about buying a season pass.

I know what I want to do with my life.

I want to develop some land. I flew down to SoCal last week and I was looking out the window at the buildings below. There have been a lot of projects going on down there and the people that have designed them have less imagination than I do, well most of them. I would like to move on with some grand plans. All I lack is capital, I merely have to get some.

more love, more creativity, more thought, more preparation

less malls and less commercialism in general

I want to keep the currently unattainable goals separate because I am always up against the 43 goal limit all of the time.
