There are several things I would like to have accomplished before I am 30, so I have 2 years on that--finish school with MLT degree, advance at current job, stop smoking cigarettes. More short term goal--provide Christmas gifts for my daughter, with the economy in its current state. Long term goals--play in the Main Event @WSOP, buy a house, and I like the one about it being energy independent--anyone see the houses in Washington DC built by college students? They were very nice and totally energy independent, I believe the German students won the competition.
