Five'll getcha seven

 FIVE more sleeps before departure day.

   Dayum! I have been creeping quietly around the edges of J-Land for a week trying to avoid this seven things meme that's going around. I thought it had just about run its course, and I was safely out of the woods when, Bam! Lahoma tagged me. With a two-by-four. Upside the head.
   I'm a bit dazed, but I'll give it my best shot. Not because, as Lahoma opined, I love these things, but because I don't want to dis the girl.
   So, here goes:

7 things I plan to do before I die

1) Visit the U.K.
2) Break 100 on the golf course
3) Visit another planet (at least I used to plan to do this one, but time's ticking away)
4) Learn to type
5) Make a difference
6) Hold a grandchild or two
7) Live to be 100
