I’ve been thinking about the past 30 years and how much I’ve gotten to experience and do within that time frame (Minus years 13 – 17 which I pretty much wasted being angry at the world and everyone in it. Posers! Conformists! Conservative pigs! Ah, the emo days.)  and some of the things I’d like to do with the next 30:

Eat at:

1.  El Bulli in Spain ( reservations are only taken one day a year)

2.  Meson Candido in Spain, again (After ten years, I still think the aroma of their roasted suckling pig is probably what an orgasm smells like.)

Travel to:

3.  Frida Khalo’s house in Mexico

4.  Chile and Argentina
