5 things I want to do…

Thomas tagged me over the weekend, asking what are 5 things you’ve always wanted to do…

I don’t know if these are things I’ve always wanted to do, but these are 5 things I really want to do (as of today)…

1. Spend at least two weeks visiting the UK (England, Scotland and Ireland) with Laurie.

2. Spend a week in New York City with Laurie.

3. Start a family :: aka have kids – (just don’t get any ideas that we’re planning on doing this tomorrow :-))

4. Freelance/work from home and/or own my own a business that supports my entire family so Laurie can also stay at home (and no I’m not interested in your pyramid marketing scheme). I’d love to see this as a regular paying gig on the radio (or a podcast), sharing people’s stories. Or — improving my web/video/media design skills so that I can make enough money to support my family with it.

5. Continue building real deep communities of faith.

In the process of building this list I also added a few more items to my life list over on 43things.com.

As part of the journey, I tag Laurie, Trucker Frank, Jessica, Brian, Michael, Kevin and Josh.

Tagged or not tagged, feel free to leave a list of the 5 things you want to do in the comment section below (or on your own blog)…

Sarah Palin Rap on SNL

Didn’t see this before. Guess we got bored or sleepy that week and missed it.

On a related note – who are you hoping to recruit for the 2012 or 2016 election? With two year campaigns becoming the norm, now might be a good time to start thinking that way.

You too can change the world – 50 words or less

“We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change the whole world for one person.”

Shaun Groves and his band of bloggers are returning from the Dominican Republic today. Take some time to learn what they’ve learned.

(What are other folks saying this weekend in 50 words or less?)
