OK, so I forgot to do the first Friday Five of 2004 entirely on time. I plead the defense of being enslaved to storing Christmas ornaments, and also goings on at Blogs for Bush as having distracted me. Look for my quasi-mordant commentary in several threads there, eh.
Here goes:
What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .
1. ...today?Since I'm writing this at the end of the day on Saturday, I suppose I'm looking most forward to going to church tomorrow, because a good friend of mine is almost always in the pew behind me, and we always have pleasant conversations about (primarily) railroads.
2. ...over the next week?I'm most looking forward to the completion of an academic project and the fun parts of my return to law school for the final semester. What those fun parts will be, I don't know.
3. ...this year?The period that comes after the successful completion of law school and successful passage of the Virginia bar. That'll be a reason for considerable celebration and thanksgiving, rejoicing, and other things related to it.
4. ...over the next five years?A successful transition to being a small town Southern lawyer. That involves procurement of a Mrs. Country Pundit, but the outlook on that isn't good at the moment. Felgercarb.
5. ...for the rest of your life?Hrrm. Success, power, and wealth. That's flippant and sarcastic, but I don't quite have the Fifty-Year Plan laid out yet. I suppose the answer is, "I'm looking forward to a life lived in such a way so that when I have to answer to higher authorities at the end of said life, their evaluation will read 'acceptable' and I'll get the cheery welcome into Heaven, instead of a first-class one-way ticket on the Express Elevator to Hell."
