10 things to do before I die, providing I become independently wealthy:

1. Ride my bike across the country several times. Hopefully for a whole year.

2. Own a house with land large enough to throw bitchin parties, with ample parking.

3. Live in Tuscany or Sardinia. I felt like I just got home, like when I come back to Asheville, when I was there before. Just a summer house, because this is, after all, daydreaming.

4. Ride fast, helpful, intelligently designed mass transit. I can't make it, but someone must.

5. Live in a really big city. Go to theatre, music, arts every night. Just because I can.

6. Live in a tiny town where everybody knows your name. I did this already. I can cross it off the list.

7. Have a kid. This may or may not involve a partner. My kid may or may not be seriously fucked up.

8. Volunteer for random things. I think this entry has been voted "Most likely to be crossed off next" since I'm already volunteered for several random things, and may be adding more soon.

9. Give away everything I own. This may or may not feel like shedding a skin.

10. Die within view of Grand Teton.
