  1. List five things you’d like to accomplish by the end of the year.

    1. Meet my deadlines for work.
    2. Get a few Christmas cards out.
    3. Get issues with our electrical upgrade worked out with PG&E.
    4. Arrange for having city inspections for our condo conversion.
    5. Arrange for having Maps for our condo conversion made.




  1. List five people you’ve lost contact with that you’d like to hear from again.

    4. My step sister Marny.
    5. A sweet guy named Xavier that I met a few years back and lost touch with.

  2. List five things you’d like to learn how to do.

    1. Do my own electrical work at home. (For a man with a degree in electrical engineering it seems lame that I don’t)

    3. Visit here, here, here, here, and I’m sure a bunch of other places.
    4. Move to Cologne to live for a time.
    5. Get a personal shopper to help me pick out some clothes. I HATE clothes shopping so it sure would be nice to have someone help me! 🙂

  4. List five things you do that help you relax.

    1. Spend an afternoon at the Kabuki Springs and Spa
    2. Spend a weekend in the Gaige Room at the Gaige House in Glen Ellen
