I anticipate my bucket list changing as I get older. Here is my list for 2011, in no particular order:
* Publish a novel or sell a screenplay. Either/Or.
* Teach L. how to play the guitar so we can write and record bad music.
* Read Tolstoy's War and Peace.
* Teach my college aged kids how to play hour of power while watching Lonesome Dove. Don't worry, I will cook the big dirty pizza for everyone.
* Run with the bulls at Pamplona.
* Retire and start a business with L. Not sure I care what sort of business. A vineyard, a boxing gym, a wiener dog farm. Doesn't matter because I look forward to the challenge.
* Teach L. how to play chess. This is going to be tougher than it sounds, as L. does not like playing games with me.
* Run L.'s campaign for her judgeship.
* See the US in a FIFA World Cup match with my wife and with my brother in a foreign country...preferably the finals.
* Learn how to play the piano.
* Visit the Japanese village my father spent the first 12 years of his life. I want my father and my wife there with me.
* Meet Tim O'Brien. Shouldn't be too hard because he teaches literature at a college here in Texas.
* Run a marathon (even though I am not sure my shins will let me do this)
* Grow a handlebar mustache. This may actually be more impossible for me than running a marathon.
