I have a lot of things that I’d like to do in my life. Too many, in some respects. I’m generally good at recognizing the practicality/plausibility of achieving each of them, and in some cases trimming the ideas down to make them more doable.

As I like to tell myself frequently, however, there is always the chance (however infinitesimally small) that I will someday come into a very large quantity of money, so sometimes I pass my mental idle time by planning out the logistics of achieving this dream if I had the money.
