Funk ......

I'm in a funk. Can't seem to win at poker and frustrated that I'm not traveling the world with my woman. I used up all my vacation to start this Quiznos business. Now I have to wait until next year to get some more vacation.

Although there is a silver lining. I've been with IBM long enough that I get 4 weeks of regular vacation. Add all the optional and site holidays and it is really about 6 weeks.

I am looking forward to tonight's poker game. There will just be a few people and I'm starting everyone with more chips. Looking forward to just hanging out and shooting the shit with people.

Maybe I should tackle some of the stuff on my "Life List". I started it years ago on my old WorkPad C3. I haven't looked at it in awhile, so lets put it on the table :

retire @ 50
Build 1969 Gto w/blower
Move into million dollar home
Have net worth of $1,000,000
Touch the Eiffel tower - 9/2002
Volunteer @ retirement home - poker game
Ride hot air balloon
Hang glide
Be naked for entire weekend
Go to Australia where Survivor shot
crash a wedding reception
world series of poker
visit the great wall of China
learn to fly
learn to play guitar
fall in real love - 4/9/2001
walk on the moon
travel in space
Drive on Autobahn
Cruise on Rt 66
Cruise up and down PCH 1

Hmmmmmm ... got a couple of them off the list. Looks like I was even ahead of my time with the "crash a wedding reception" thing. Maybe I could have starred in that Wedding Crashers movie :-) .... hmmm 69 GTO looks like it could be accomplished this weekend. Then I could use that to hit the last three on the list. But what does it cost to ship a car to Europe ?

Got to love google ... I can ship a car to Europe for about $1000

All righty, I'm off to crash a wedding in my 69 GTO !!
