7X7 MEME

Kobayashi Maru tagged me with the 7X7 Meme which I am now answering and passing along to unfortunate blogging victims. The Meme goes like so:

1. Seven things to do before I die
2. Seven things I cannot do
3. Seven things that attract me to (...)
4. Seven things I say most often
5. Seven books (or series) that I love
6. Seven movies I watch over and over again (or would if I had time)
7. Seven people I want to join in, too.

Here I go:

Seven Things To Do Before I Die:

Publish a great book ( or two)
Explore Australia and New Zealand
Learn Kendo
Finish the doctorate
Visit Tibet and Bhutan
Test myself to the physical limit and prevail
Raise my children to be more than their father

Seven Things I Cannot Do:

Feign the slightest interest in major league baseball
Refrain from mocking my co-workers
Stay organized
Watch most television programs
Pretend that evil and small-minded people are not what they are
Enjoy casserole
Ask for help

Seven Things That Attract Me to...Conversing With Other Smart People

The chance to learn something new
I seldom need to explain my jokes
Chances are, given enough time, they will reveal something wacky about themselves
To measure myself against them
Comfort Zone
They actually read books
It energizes me

I don't get tagged for these things very often. I tend to agonize unnecessarily over them so it will take a little time.
 
I have completed the exercise.
