- climb outside and/or somewhere with Mary Jo
- watch Just Friends with Eric Larsen (done)
- CPR/First Aid through the Red Cross
- work at Oregon Food Bank (started already)

get scuba certified
- track down a vinyl copy of James Blood Ulmer's Tales of Captain Black (done, here it is)

John L. Parker.
