Thursday's List of 13: 13 things I'd like to do.......
I've been very lucky, had the chance to do lot of fun things, but here are 13 things I'd like to do some day that I haven't done yet…….

13) I'd like to sit in on the meetings where they make the NFL schedule.

12) I'd like to go to Chicago and sit in bleachers at Wrigley some afternoon. Then drive up to Milwaukee, see Brewers play, and shake Bob Uecker's hand.

11) Just once, on Christmas Eve, I'd like to walk on a warm beach, instead of freezing to death here in America's second-favorite city.

10) I'd like a bit part in a movie. Nothing big, just a line or two. What would be cooler than that?

9) I'd like to see a Saturday night football game at LSU.

8) I'd like to see the Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tournament in Belding, MI. The town is taken over for a weekend by 3-on-3 basketball. Games in the streets.

7) I'd love to ride on a Zamboni in between periods of a professional hockey game. Don't want to drive it, just want to be a passenger.

6) I'd like to watch an NBA practice. See what they work on, if it is much different than a high school or college practice.

5) I'd like to spend few days in high altitude, see what its like. We hear so much about how hard it is to play ball in altitude, but what is it like to live in altitude?

4) I'd like to watch a Stanley Cup final game in a Canadian city. Preferably not Montreal.

3) I'd like to sit in on the meetings where an NFL team draws up its gameplan for Sunday.

2) I'd like to learn how to play the saxophone.

1) I'd like to spend March in Las Vegas, watching hundreds of college hoop games on the dish, and taking side trips to Arizona to see the A's in spring training......oh yeah, and just once, I'd like to actually make the NFL schedule.
