If you knew could you try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what would you accomplish?

Wow. That's a tough one. Selfish: I'd like to be an NFL player. Selfless: I'd like to cure cancer and AIDS. Realistic: Sell my book and have a decent career as a novelist.

Play professional soccer. (for Arsenal )
Be in in a good rock band.
Spend the rest of my life traveling to different countries as a missionary.

Any one of those three

To live in Hawaii.

That will cut down on your brunchgating.

Since money is no object, I can fly back on my personal jet for brunchgates and football games.

Oh, I forgot the best one.

Play basketball (PG) for Coach K and Duke.

To not beat the shit out of someone in the office when I confront them tomorrow.

Oops, wrong thread. I will reply for real later.

Now that you take money out of the equation, IT would have definitely been professional baseball! There are many other things that I have accomplished and WILL ACCOMPLISH (LIKE WIN THE LOTTERY ), but OHHH, we took money out of the equation! Hence, nothing is IMPOSSIBLE!

Ahem, it has been brought to my attention that I left out a word.

I hope/wish for world peace, an end of poverty, and for Klemnop to streak down Franklin Street after Clemson thumps the Holes in Chapaheeya for the tenth straight year.

If I can't have those, I'd wish to be the third singer in Flight of the Conchords... or to be part of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

As for wishes, I think Steve Martin said it best on SNL a while ago when he recited his "holiday wish":

I would throw the biggest dinner/part/concert for my friends then take them all on vacation. And I'm not referring to friends who would come out of the woodwork.

I would also want to run March Madness. That's always been a goal.

I'd love to travel the world, including an around the world cruise.

And I'd like to be a professional dancer and later open dance studios and bring in the best teachers and choreographers.

And I'd get a personal trainer and personal chef.

Of course, all of this is regardless of money or reality.

I would like to start my own business, one that would serve a currently underserved population in some meaningful way, not only to help its customers but also the employees. (Oh, and would let me also spend a good three months every year travelling to the historic and/or the exotic.)

Now I've just got to figure out what that business would be/do!

I want to win a large Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot, in part so I can endow a football scholarship at Duke. I also want to run The Amazing Race with one of the other posters in this thread, something we have talked about!

I would like to own the Washington Redskins.
I would like to walk on the Moon.
I would like to travel the world to sample cuisine and perfect my culinary skills.
I would like to be able to jump off of very tall objects and not hurt myself when I land.
I would like to meet each and every one of you, and buy you ponies.

I would really like a pony!!

That's happening for me on Saturday, right? Well, the meeting part.

I'd run my own theater company.
I'd also like to have something I've written produced in New York.
I'd like to get my Duke-Carolina play done at Duke sometime, maybe reunion weekend next year.

Not next year, but sometime, I think I'll run the Boston Marathon again. I know. Did you believe me? Anyway, I'd like to run the Boston Marathon without my knees collapsing or my calf muscles cramping and see what happens. Katie Holmes, I still want you!!

You couldn't do any worse than old Danny boy. ;)

Indeed it is!!!

I would like to be watching in person when Duke breaks UCLA's record for consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Titles.
