As requested by Kiddo, I present to you:

Seven things

Seven things you plan to do before you die:

5) Learn to play an instrument
6) See my daughter graduate from college
7) Get really, really old

Seven things you can do:
1) Find something to like/admire about almost anyone
2) Write stuff for other people (like mean letters, thank you notes, program notes, newsletters, silly poems, etc.)
3) Quickly find the answers to bizarre questions online
4) Listen
5) Sleep for very long periods of time (13 or 14 hours at a stretch if I'm really depressed)
6) Dance in public (almost anywhere)
7) Kill spiders, crickets, etc. while screaming

Seven things you can't do:

2) Give the silent treatment for more than a couple of hours
3) Drive slowly
4) Hide my emotions (they're all over my face)
5) Speak a language other than English

7) Go a day (or maybe even an hour) without laughter

Seven things that attract you to the opposite sex:
