106 Things to Do Tonight

Sam called me tonight and told me to come up with a plan for the evening. This seemed like a ridiculous request, as the plan is always the same: sit around and talk and smoke and perhaps have some beers. I took it seriously, though, and began feverishly composing a list of possibilities. It turned out that she just wanted me to regurgitate the everyday-plan, so we didn't actually do even one of these things, but maybe we will someday. tomorrow, for instance. Here was my list (items with asterisks require supplies):

1. swim with dolphins
2. visit the Eiffel Tower
3. play on a playground

104. lay in a pile
105. magic tricks
106. lock arms and walk somewhere (or skip)

If you would like to do any of these activities and need company, just give me a call. To be 100% honest, though, I don't know that I could ever pole vault, I'm not actually too interested in becoming blood sisters, and I don't like sand art. So...

Of course, please comment with any additional suggestions.
