    I would like to do well next semesters in college. Also I think i would enjoy a road trip during the summer with my friends. I'm not so adventurous so it would be good for me to do that.
    Thanks for the contest as usual!

    Oh- and anybody can speak to birds.

    How they reply (or not) is their business.

    @Curtisimo, two comments on your resolutions (some of which you COULD accomplish, if you are willing):

    1. If you’re getting married, but planning on getting Catwoman, I hope they are one and the same.

    2. Northern Minnesota has great snipe hunting grounds. I learned during Boy Scout camp. PM for a date this summer, but it has to be summer. When the mosquitoes are thick in the woods at dusk, because snipe LOVE mosquitoes, the bigger the better.

    Good point. I will have to check and see if she is game. At the very least we should win the couples contest at our Halloween party later this year :vamp::vulcan::D

    Excellent. I just moved to Minnesota (truly) and have been looking for a new snipe hunting mentor. My last mentor just left me out in the woods... rude! :wacky::D

    Oh, is THAT the reason one of your resolutions was "learn to speak with birds"?

    Planning a charm offensive on the snipe of northern Minnesota, are you? Gonna talk 'em right into the bag?

    Work on those sonnets you were talkin' about. I hear snipe like sonnets.

    You have quite a list there, @Curtisimo! Here are a couple of suggestions to make it easier for you:

    You could scratch getting your penquin a snappy tuxedo off your list since penguins come with tuxedos and they are wash and wear! Maybe some snazzy accessories like a top hat and spats, pocket watch for your penguin would be nice. You could get yourself a snappy tux for your wedding, though. Would be cool if your penguin is your ring bearer.

    If you want to discover “aliens” I can arrange for you to meet any of my immigration clients! ;) Then you won’t have to travel so far. (I call them “undocumented”)

    Sounds like a fun year.

    Maybe @Curtisimo could borrow @lordmarcovan’s hat, per @LaCointes-sa’s suggestion for Curtis’s penguin.
