You know, in the past two years, I sure have had fun checking off big items from my to do list. For example, in the last two years I have

1. Endured a five month long audit with the I.R.S.,
2. Saw the end of my marriage,
3. Got diagnosed with cancer,
4. Endured extensive cancer treatments, complete with permanent hair loss.
5. Had my car disintegrate around my ears into a pile of spare parts.
6. Had my three best clients close their retainer contracts with me.
7. Persevered through a bureaucratic nightmare worthy of Kafka

And now I just don’t know how to follow it up. So I’ve compiled a list of some possible options, hoping you readers might select a favorite, or suggest one of your own. Which of these should I look into first?

1. Be falsely accused of a crime
2. Have my car stolen
3. Have my home blown up from a gas leak after an earthquake.
4. Regress to an infantile state, complete with fetal position and thumb sucking
5. Permanent impotence
6. Become a Jehovah’s Witness
7. Fall down an elevator shaft
8. Fall in love with a russian mail order bride named Boshka.

I just don’t know how to pick! They all sound terrific! What’s a guy supposed to do?

Of course somewhere between the first list and the second list, I have to squeeze in a second round of cancer surgery, which just happens to be happening tomorrow. So I’ll be out of blog contact for the next few days. I’ll post an update here as soon as I return home.
