Bucket List

​

Right, so around 2000, I got the inspiration to make an academic bucket list.  These are whimsical goals I set myself just for fun.  The challenge is to find ways to do them that are still academically respectable, which is not always easy.  In retrospect, I wish I had the idea sooner as the list could have been much longer by now if I had.  In any event, here is the present list:

​

1)  Publish a serious academic paper listing all my kids and their pets by name: Check

​

2) Publish a serious academic paper beginning with "It was a dark and stormy night": Check

​

3) Publish a serious academic paper based on Monty Python's Black Knight skit: Check

4) Publish a serious academic paper containing a cartoon: Check (link not yet active)

​

5) Publish a serious academic paper on the Prime Directive from Star Trek: Check

 

6) Hold a serious academic conference on a cruise ship

​

7) Publish a serious academic paper with a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe theme.
