I, like a lot of other people, wish I had more free time. But, at the very least until I finsh my thesis (let’s not go there, shall we?) and get past September’s IEEE GOLD Congress, and knock off a few more “To-Dos” from my list, I probably won’t. But when I do get the time, there a number of things I’d like to do. I know a lot of them, reasonably won’t happen until I retire or something, unless I end up in a body-cast for some reason… but feel free to suggest other things!

- Learn to run without feeling like an idiot
- Watch all episodes, marathon-style, of “Scrubs”, “Farscape”, and “Sex and the City”
- Re-read “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter” books
- Read the books that I’ve bought but haven’t read yet
- Take the dogs on a long car ride followed by a good hike
- Camp more
- Learn to golf (or at least hit a golf bal somewhat consistently in a predicted direction farther than five feet)
- Learn to use the fancy-pants camera we have, more than just the pre-defined settings
- Walk around St. John’s and Mount Pearl and actually take pictures without feeling like an idiot or a tourist
- Take a conversational French course
- Drive to Gros Morne National Park and spend a week without contact
- Visit family I haven’t seen in a while
- Work on my family tree
