Quoting Thom@s (Reply 7): You'll need more than "a bit" of money to retire in Norway...
I've heard horror stories of prices over there. Yet still:
Spend some time in Norway
Survive college (5 semesters down, 3 to go!)
Get married
Have a family
Have fun in life
(not necessarily in this order)

To wear a slutty bikini on the beach at Destin, FL, but alas, I've yet to reach my goal.

I have several major goals in my life that I am working to meet:
1) Become a craniofacial deformities research doctor. To meet this goal, I have been studying at King's College London, England, since 2004, in the department of craniofacial development. I am currently applying for PhD courses, and next year, if successful, I plan to begin my PhD training in this same field. This is inspired by my own lifetime experiences with Treacher Collins syndrome.
Part of this goal is to further study why the TCOF1 gene mutation leads to the mass death of cells that are supposed to form the embryonic mandibular arch (this causes Treacher Collins syndrome). In fact, just recently, I wrote a project proposal in one of my courses at King's College London all about this!
2) Finish writing my autobiography. Titled "The Pancake Kid" (after a poem written about me as a child), this book will tell the story of my life with my craniofacial deformities and how I have struggled to overcome these challenges. A tell-all book is in the works! I began writing this book back in 2002, but when I moved to London, UK, in 2004, it got put on hold. Now, since I have been able to transfer it from my obsolete ZIP Disk to a new USB Flash Drive, I can get back to work on it! Right now, I am living a major chapter--in London! Wish me luck that it gets published someday!
3) Become an even better musician than I am now. I have played piano since I was a toddler (even before I began piano lessons in 1984 at age 8), and have given many performances. Even though my piano playing is excellent, I always strive to get better with time. Learning to play the piano as a child was a huge miracle--despite being "the man with no ears"! Now, since 2005, I have actually been teaching myself violin--on a green violin that I found in London! With time, my violin playing may catch up with my lifetime's worth of excellent piano playing! (My lifetime experience with the piano and my background in music have helped greatly in my teaching myself the violin).
4) Who knows--perhaps a run at the White House someday?

LOL, but AndesSMF claims I'm not nice enough to do that.

The '70s pretty well kicked my goals out from under me.
Is doing a bicentennial minute and being mentioned in at least one of Howard Hughes' wills too much to ask?
I really thought my turn would come up sooner with Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor-Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky. At least while she was still fairly attractive.
Happiness is not seeing another trite Ste. Maarten photo all week long.
