1. Have and raise happy children (or one child).
2. Climb.
3. Dive.
4. Fly.
5. Build a house I live in.
6. Execute my grand plan for a non-profit arts agency that provides grants, training, representation, and gallery/performance space for emerging women artists in all fields (including literature and crafts/design/architecture, etc.) that is self-sustaining and does not accept public funding. And that one day soon doesn't need to be just for women.

In that order.

I like the slash between San Francisco and Kolkata, like the one is an extension of the other.

I'm not sure what I'd like to do. I've done some of the things on other people's lists. Definitely travel through South America, I'd like that.
