Replace Bed

Categories: 101 Tasks

Our bed is somewhat creaky and poorly put together. Something more solid would be a good idea. Also, the futon is about as old as the bed.

I was gonna do this at Christmas, but circumstances prevented. Jacob seemed fairly chuffed at the idea, and Mom was amused, so hey.

Learn Ruby

I feel like I should. All the cool kids are doing it. I don’t have to be super-good with it, but I’d like to be able to use it. (Deja vu!)

21st Century Most Acclaimed

Categories: 101 Tasks

They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? is a very cool site that aggregates as many top movie lists as they can. As of the time I posted this, I was at 32% of their 21st Century’s 250 Most Acclaimed Films list. Good list. Worth more effort. I should note that I don’t do these film lists out of a desire to keep score; it’s because I want to understand movies better, and seeing more great movies helps me with that.

Take a Course

A course in whatever. Something adult education. There’re enough opportunities in the Cambridge area; should be easy.

Organize Big Books

Categories: 101 Tasks

We have a lot of non-paperbacks, too. It would be nice to have them in some semblance of organization. “Arthur Ransome lives in the drawing room; Flashman lives in the office.”

Take Dad to a Game

He loves it. We’ve done the Celtics and the Red Sox. Either of those again would be ducky.
