Notes

|
Find the love of my life.
|
Done
|
It never ceases to amaze me. It
took 40 years and a lot of mistakes, but I got this one right, finally.
|
|
Becoming a published
songwriter.
|
Pending
|
I've created a lot of music of which
I'm proud, but no one has paid me to do it. Self-publishing and good friends don't count here.
|
|
Watch the Seattle Mariners win the World
Series.
|
Pending
|
One's life should never be defined by
the success of one's favorite sports teams, but c'mon...this would be amazing!
|
|
Have one of my songs sung to me by a crowd.
|
Done
|
Okay, so having "Corners of the World"
sung to me by 60 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders may not be the same as 30,000 singing to Springsteen, but it sure felt amazing.
|
|
Bike through Ireland.
|
Done
|
What a fantastic trip. My only regret is
that we can't do it every year.
|
|
Travel to Turkey and swim in the Mediterranean.
|
Done
|
Greece had always been my goal until I began
planning our trip to Turkey. Unbelievable.
|
|
Live in a house surrounded by trees.
|
Done
|
We made it to Vashon Island just before the prices
hit the roof. Our little acre of land is perfect and I still shake my head with wonder that I'm here.
|
|
Have a song I've written featured in
a movie.
|
Pending
|
I've had people ask to use my songs
and I've heard rumors that someone once heard one of my songs in an independent film, but I haven't experienced this
one yet.
|
|
Climb the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
|
Pending
|
We've come close to booking this trip
a couple of times, but not yet.
|
|
Go to Mariners Fantasy Camp.
|
Pending
|
Provided my bank account and my hamstrings
hold out I will notch this one in January 2009.
|
|
Taste real Thai food...in Thailand.
|
Done
|
In the states you can plead with Thai restaurants
to make it really spicy and they don't believe you mean it. In Thailand, you don't have to ask.
|
|
Visit as many ball parks as possible.
|
Ongoing
|
I'm up to around 100 but there's
still a couple more hundred to go.
|
|
Go to Egypt.
|
Pending
|
Turkey really wets one's appetite for
antiquity. Pictures of the pyramids must fall impossibly short to those who've seen them.
|
|
Become the king of Seattle Mariners songwriters.
|
Done, as far as I know.
|
Whether I've written the best songs
or the most songs is up for debate. But no one else has had the blind passion to create a whole CD of songs. Idiocy?
Genius? You be the judge.
|
|
Don't kick the bucket.
|
Ongoing
|
So far so good.
