Wish List 2010
Since I stopped writing over at my pseunonymous blogspot address, I had to move the annual Wish List over to FoxPolitics.net, where Proprietor Jo was kind enough to post it.
The reason it’s a Wish List, instead of a prediction list, is: I’m really bad at predictions. At least, I have been in the past. I didn’t do so badly on my Wish List 2009. But we’ll see soon enough – sometime in the next 12 months, I’d say – whether that’s a trend, or just a fluke.
An excerpt:
Son #1 gets his second-ever deer: a buck, but not as big as mine. And this time he’ll only make one big bag of jerky instead of four.
The Daughter will be accepted to the college of her choice and will begin her freshman year with a well-thought-out financial plan. Her father will narrowly avoid an embarrassing public display of emotion on moving day, but will manage to embarrass her at least twice in front of her future dorm-mates.
The wife and I will go dancing exactly once, but only because we were invited to a wedding.
Go read the whole thing, and see if you can do any better. And then go read my Wish Lists for 2009, 2008, and 2007. It should make for an amusing fifteen minutes, if nothing else.

When I think of wish lists, I think of John Goddard, who at the age of 15 who wrote a life list of 127 things he wanted to accomplish in his life. So far he has accomplished 109 as a world famous adventurer.
Me? I am not very good with trying to guess the future but I always find it fascinating to read about people who write a list of, what seems at the time, impossible goals only to achieve them. I guess it’s true that when there is a will, there is a way and that nothing is truly impossible.
