My bucket list is very full, but the longer I make it, the more things I feel good about adding in... ;)

- Travel cross-country by train. I've got enough Amtrak points for a free 30-day multi-stop pass. I'm thinking about taking the train across the upper states, through Canada, and then down the west coast and over to Tuscon (where I've got an uncle) and then flying home from Tuscon (I don't have *that* much vacation.)

- Take an extended camping trip along the Great Lakes, across into the upper Penninsula of Michigan (brother lives in Marquette.) I want to spend more time in the UP and on the shores of Superior and Michigan and Huron. The English Cocker National Specialty in 2010 is in Oconomowoc WI, so that would be a nice round trip. I don't know if it will be practical, but on the paper planning so far has been lots of fun. ;)

- Earn a VCD (Versatile Companion Dog) title. My old goal was to earn conformation and performance titles on one dog. Ch. Kabree Mad About You RN (Madison) has both her conformation championship and her first rally title, so now I'd like to fulfill the requirements for her VCD. For that, she'll need an agility title, an obedience title, and a tracking title. And if I get really organized, a hunting title. She's ready to show in agility and training in obedience and tracking. She's my first conformation + performance titled dog, and I want to give her as many performance opportunities and earn as many of her performance titles as I can. She would be her breeder's first VCD, and that would be a special way to thank Lisa for sharing with me a very special dog.

- Finish my cookbook. I'm about 2/3rds done.

I can scratch one off my to do list tonite.. I can actually comfortably rollerskate backwards now. without making it look like a pile of work.
It has taken a couple years but I accomplished it.. :)

We get them real frequent here I think I have actually heard them only once or twice. Takes a really still night which is hard to come by here..
