Only five?
- Running for political office. Like I need that grief? Like I could compete in a political campaign? Especially if they found this blog? Sh’yeah. Now, if someone were to appoint me God-Emperor, that’d be one thing. But running for office? I think not.
- Watching another episode of “Deal or No Deal.” I watched a demo episode on my flight to California. My interest in watching another episode (or an episode of any other prime time game show, or pretty much any “reality” show as well) is close to zero.
- Returning to School for a Degree in Something. Could I make more money if I had an MBA? Possibly. Do I have an interest in getting back into the academic grind. No.
- Cheating on My Wife. Aside from fundamentally strong religious, moral, and ethical scruples, and aside from being both lazy and a coward, I simply can’t imagine anyone having anything concrete to offer that Margie doesn’t already have/manifest/do that I’d want. I mean, she’s stuck with me for as long as she’ll have me (arguably I’m therefore stuck with her, but that’s like saying one is “stuck” with an original Rembrandt).
- Downhill Skiing. I mean, if I want thrills, I’ll ride a roller coaster. It’ll be cheaper, warmer, more convenient, and less insanely lethal. Someone in my office was out of work for three months fractured femur or something from a snow boarding accident. She was crushed she’d miss the rest of the season. Talk about a glutton for punishment.
