I was at a training course recently, and one of the technicians was a bubbly, fresh-out-of college, twenty something. She cheerfully chattered over lunch that she had a \\"2009\\" list of things she wanted to do before 2008 was over.
\\"skydiving\'
\\"white-water rafting through the delaware water gap\\"
\\"cooking and eating a lobster that I personally catch off the coast of Maine\\"
I was in my forty-something mode and stared blankly at her for awhile, until I realized that she wasn\'t about to let anybody\'s cynicism spoil her fun. She knew her plans were not always realisitc, but she put them on her list anyway.
I asked if she would move unfinished things from this list to a 2010 list, and she said \\"no - that would be defeating the purpose\\"
So, I went ahead and looked at my list of things I want to accomplish before 2009.
1. fix the closet doors
2. change the sink bowl and faucet
3. re-do the drafty window before it gets cold
4. fix the skirting around the house
I don\'t think I\'ll be sharing my list with that giggly kid.
