Update on MT>WP

I have now been able to move all my posts from my old MoveableType blog to this new WordPress one. Of course, I noticed there are still a number of issues (the monthly pages do not load, there are some missing images, etc.), but I didn’t think this would be a piece of cake!

What surprises me is that I was able to do at least this much on my own nevertheless! Much more than I was ever able to do with MT!

Lifelist 101

Yesterday’s New York Times had an interesting article on the recent increase in lifelist literature, comprising books on the best seller list as well as upcoming movies. I have never really considered the places I should visit before I die (particularly since I no longer agree in the concept of “should”–it being a guilt-driven requirement demanded by another person or institution).

Regardless, if I had such a list, what would I want to do or accomplish? Let’s see:

  1. I want to live in France, especially in Provence where I can get inspired by the same colors and scenes that so affected Van Gogh.
  2. I want to finish my PhD. This is another story . . .
  3. Pay off my debt.
  4. ???

Hmm, this list is tougher than it seems. Like Hugh Hefner at the end of the NY Times, I can relate with his statement, “I honestly, can’t think of anything I don’t already have.”

I wonder what other people think about this?
