Seven by Seven Meme
I’ve been tagged by my friendly adversary, TGirsch, over at Lean Left. I’m glad he didn’t move in a Biblical direction and edit the meme to “Seventy Times Seven.” That would make for much more work than I have time for. Anyway, the basic idea is that I am to answer 7 inquiries with 7 answers each. Tom asks me to answer:
- Seven things to do before I die
- Seven things I cannot do
- Seven things that attract me to (…)
- Seven things I say most often
- Seven books (or series) that I love
- Seven movies I watch over and over again (or would if I had time)
- Seven people I want to join in, too.
Okay, here it goes…
Seven things to do before I die
- Personal: Meet U2’s Bono
- Religious: Become a better man, more like Christ
- Family: Raise a Christian family and perpetuate a legacy of Christian faith
- Financial: Pay off college debt and pay for children’s college education
- Travel: Bora Bora, Europe, Israel
- Sports: Attend a NY Yankees World Series game and a NCAA Men’s College Basketball title game with UConn
- Automobile: Drive a Porsche Carerra or 911
Seven things I cannot do
- Chew gum and walk at the same time
- Remember the names of people I meet
- Watch television without TiVo
- Go back to dialup
- Shop at a mall
