5. Write compelling speeches for Iowa’s First Daughter.
6. Produce a local public radio show that rivals This American Life in it’s ability to tell a good story.
7. Become president of our neighborhood association. 37220 rules, others drool.
8. Found a non-profit that owns, maintains and supplies transitional housing to single mothers and their children who were victims of domestic abuse.
9. Eradicate the weeds and moles from my lawn.
10. Become a bear trainer. Or at least, be able to play with a bear cub. I love bears.
