50 Things for 2008

I don’t know why I picked 50 things for 2008. Maybe it’s because it’s too much work to come up with 2,008 things for 2008. Here’s my list:

  • Happy new year! Great list! there's a few things on there that I want/need to do myself.
  • Rich
    Good list.

    But the Frank I know always looks good in a suit.

    Rich
  • Interesting list full of good ideas. Gave me something to think about.
  • I'm especially fond of #10! :)
  • PeachFlambe
    Sign me up for #9.
  • Its good to have a list. Let me know how that Running with Bulls is coming given the condition Sheryl got you to agree to.
  • Start with the hernia - that will FORCE you to take some time off and watch those movies, write that book, refine your poker technique etc... See you can kill more than one bird with that one stone (plus I still have some really good drugs left over from my hernia surgery from last year).
  • Pax, I think that hernia thing is moving up in the list. LOL about the "advantage" of it...mines at my bellybutton (cringes) though...I hope I don't cough for a while.
  • Your Aussie Mate
    Love '9' Frank.....does this have anything to do with good red wine? Let me know if I can help
  • Hey, #9 is popular. I like it. And since I read that it's going to be like 30C+ tomorrow, I'm a fan of that! Good red wine and good business...symmetry.
