If I had all the free time in the world, what would I do?

Free time? Me? You've got to be kidding. If there's one thing I have a hard time with, it's saying no! But what if I had more time? What would I do?

Take golf lessons. Actually this is a little bit like cheating -- we're actively trying to find a local course where we can take semi-private lessons. I haven't played in quite a few years, and Tom really only plays 1-2 times a year. We're receiving more and more invites, however, to play in charity tournaments, so it's time to shake off the cobwebs!

Go hiking. Tom and I spent one summer doing several hikes, most of them in the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. The first time, we had the totally wrong gear and were sent back down because the weather changed. After that, we wised up a bit and came better prepared. There are a few mountains I'd like to try, Mount Washington being at the top (although I just read a rather scary article regarding all the reasons not to!). I'm not terribly interested in really killing myself and going for serious mountains like some of these avid climbers -- I'm much more the hiker. I'm kind of chuckling to myself -- didn't I just write about how Girl Scouting wasn't my cup of tea?

Travel more. Again, kind of a given. But where do I want to go? Back to France for the Tour de France (although not nearly as exciting without Lance). To Scotland, the land of my ancestors. To Nova Scotia - more ancestral searches. To Quebec to stay in the Ice Hotel. Back to Italy to relive Under the Tuscan Sun.

Learn how to cook. Ummm.....nah! I'm so much better at washing dishes!
