| | | Life time project - life
And here, post the things you feel you absolutely want to do and want to experience during your life time. Anything! 
Some things I'd like to do:
- make discoveries of fundamental importance for finding a cure against many common neurological/neuropsychiatric diseases and disorders such as schizophrenia or Alzheimers.
- visit Antarctica and climb the sea cliffs of South Georgia. Visit samarkand (in Uzbekistan) , South Africa and the burning mountains in Azerbadjan (the burn because of natural gas). See the national park in Turkey with all the salt formations.
- Go with a berber trading caravan through southern Sahara (on camel, of course)
- Go by boat along the Huang-ho river
- reproduce

Yay! I've done one of the things on CE's list! | Frankly, I'm quite impressed by that knowing that both you and your wife have had very active careers as researchers - I can't imagine how to find the time to raise children.

Actually, being 'Daddy' to my girls is the best thing I've ever done. All else pales. |

Don't know if I will do it as it is too expensive, but if I can find a way...

| | I want to fly either into space or just in the sky.
But not in the corny tourist sense or the rich private plane type.
I want to earn my wings...
And on a lesser note Make a million and then lose it all gambling. Knowing full well I would be able to make another

Seriously, I would like to travel round the world and learn about the cultures of other people. European countries such as Spain, Austria and Switzerland have always held a fascination for me. |

| I'm afraid genetic engineering can't give you wings at this stage...have you considered hanggliding? It's IMO the closest man can come to flying like a bird.

| | | I want to visit every country in the world that I possibly can.
I'd like to finish this damn novel I'm working on.
I want to be able to play every prelude and fugue in Bach's Well-Tempered Klavier. So far--8 down, 30 or so to go.
I'd like to learn to fiddle.
I'd like to finally finish reading all the books of the Order of the Dark Flames in my lifetime.
I want to learn to play golf for some reason.
I'd like to be a better salsa dancer.

Mind you those wings will make for an interesting conversation at parties.
