My 2010 Wish List

My friend Matt at Wide Right (http://wideright3.blogspot.com) did a post outlining what he is asking Santa for this year. It got me thinking about my own wish list. Thankfully I’ve been pretty good this year so here it is:

• The Hawkeyes to not blow a 4^th quarter lead in the Insight Bowl. I don’t care much if Iowa loses as long as they don’t blow a late lead again.
• A vacation anywhere of my choosing to be used in 2011.
• My daughters to do well in school.
• Advance my career in some way.
• My car to survive another year.
• Have competitive fantasy NASCAR and NFL teams (my NBA team is doing very well).
• To attend at least one professional sporting event (not including I Cubs).
• Enough contact lenses to last me all year.
• Bunk beds for the girls (at least we already have that one).
• Make it through 3 or 4 5k races.
• New golf clubs and bag.
• More fishing trips and equipment.
• More opportunities to meet new people and make more friends.
• Continued good health and prosperity for my family and friends.

This is the season of giving; if you are in the position to give please give with a loving heart. Everything you are able to give to others is a blessing, even if it has no monetary value. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, or whatever holiday you may celebrate, and a Happy New Year. Here’s to a great 2011!

Be sure to check back on January 1, 2011 for a 2010 year in review.
