I'd like to know what makes you think I have no chance with those pants.

(Oh, wait, would she have to be wearing them at the time?? Never mind.)

My most cherished fantasy has no hope of coming true ever, barring a spectacular lottery win, which is highly unlikely since I never play the lottery.

As I've written elsewhere I have become interested in playing poker. I would like to become a winning player (with the bankroll to match) at $10 limit tables. This is a potentially reachable goal within the next 1-2 years.

As a more long-term professional goal, a year ago at a conference I heard the CIO of the Pennsylvania public university system speak on the subject of grooming the next generation of IT leaders in higher education. As I listened to him describe some things he's doing in his organization, I thought to myself, "Hey, that sounds like it would be a great place to work." This has turned into one of my objectives: to one day be in charge of a department that will make IT workers on the outside say, "wow, that sounds like a great place."

A more vaporous goal is to someday visit various tombs and monuments in Egypt. This is complicated by various financial and logistical hurdles, so it may not happen.
