  7. Take a day trip to Whidbey Island
  8. Take a picture of my fun socks at least once a month and share them on here. I love fun socks; they make me smile, and I should share that goofiness with more people. It’s only fair to warn them that I’m a weirdo, right? 😀

  23. Get better at shucking oysters

    • Sadly, I probably won’t get to share any with him in person, so I took advantage of the colder weather and FexEx having a partnership with Central Market to send him 12 Penn Cove Select oysters overnight. He got them on 12/21/2010, grilled them on the shell, drizzled with a chipotle lemon butter sauce, and enjoyed. Expensive, but triumphant and worth the effort!
