Oh, there are *so* many of these I can/should/want (to) do with you!!
I'm down, like a clown with a frown, to help with all these:
18. Try 10 new restaurants in Toronto (new to me) **We must remember to do Ethopian food soon, btw.
19. Learn 5 tricks with poi and hoop each. **MORE than happy to help with this one!
20. Go see an opera. (should co-ordinate with E. on this) **Yes
21. Go see a ballet. (co-ordinate with E. on this) **Yes
22. Ride a horse. **This was a runner-up for my list. Last time I was on a horse, I broke my thumb having to jump off of it b/c it got spooked by a gator and ran towards a busy highway. That was when I was 19. I think it's time for me to get back on a horse again....
26. Go on a random road trip. Get lost. **I bet Maz would let me borrow her car if you wanna do this sometime once things get more thawed.
28. Go bowling **I love bowling!
29. Go to a Leafs game **I have generic "real hockey game" on my list. I am thinking earlier next season.
30. Read a classic novel…any ideas??? **Lots of ideas, actually. Let's talk abt this one offline. See, my it degree comes in handy once in a while!
32. See a band live once a month.
33. Go camping. **Orphan Burn '08 *will* be a camping event, btw. So, if you've not done this one yet by then, then you totally have to come.
34. Go to the races (horse??) **This was another runner-up for my list. I love going to the track when I'm in Cali, so I figure I have to go here come spring. I'll go with you! My usual goal is to make small bets (like, $2-5) and hope I at least make back wheatever I ate and drank at the track. I often meet my goal.
39. Go to drum circle this summer. **No problem! And once you get some poi and hoop moves down we can maybe light ya on fire!
40. Take a walk in high park once a month. **I was just thinking today that I wanna go on a winter walk there sometime soon, down to the pond and stuff. Anytime you have a day off and wanna go, lemme know.
55. Visit Kirsi in Seattle at least once. **Totally, if I can do it at the same time, I'll wanna go back, too.
76. Learn about alpacas. **and sheeps? :P
77. Learn about organic farming. **Yes!
80. Learn about organic gardens. **More yes! :)
82. Take 2 drawing classes ** Another runner-up of mine, but it was just gonna be *a* drawing class. Still, I might be interested in joining you on this one, too.
Side note, since you have two items related to this: I had a dream about bridge last night, well, kind of indirectly. I dreamt I was doing the crossword puzzles in the Saturday Star and I was looking at the bridge thing they always have in there and thinking I wanted to learn to play at some point. I have never had to urge to learn before,
I was gonna post this as a reply to your facebook note, but it was *checks* 1,872 characters too long! Stupid comment size limits....
blue [abandon idea] sounds good. I think i need to do that too ;-/ all the best with the rest of your list !
