What if I only had three months to live, I would...

Complete the laser eye surgery and throw away my glasses and contacs.

Engage a professional genealogist to complete the family history.

Hire three full-time assistants. Their shifts would be 8 to 5, 10 to 7 and finally, 2 to 11. My job would be to overwhelm them with work. I would also need a manager to run the office (focusing on productivity, etc.). The types of activities would include:

completing all my topical photo collages and photo projects
figuring out what to give away and what to discard
giving away as much as possible while I am still alive
helping me record my 11 year accident recovery process
making musical CDs of my favorites songs
etc
Hire a couple ghost writers to write initial drafts (of articles, pamphlets, and books) based on my notes, etc. I would also need an editor to streamline the process.

Sing everyday. Possibly record some CDs in a professional sound studio.

Take a two week cruise with friends and some family to Australia and New Zealand. But, stay connected to office via internet and have working office setup on the ship.

Write individual farewell letters to friends and family.

Prepare for all the financial consequences resulting from my death, includng the future care of Tugger and Max.

Hmmm, most of the above list are not reasonable to do since I plan to live way beyond three months! However, I could start to look into hiring a genealogist to take over this project from me. I am having trouble getting back to it. Maybe, I should give myself the rest of 2003. Then, if no progress is made, hire a genealogist January 2004.

I could try to sing everyday. However, time-wise, this one is hard to accomplish. Or, am I just making excuses? The truth is that I hate to sing alone.

Need to give some thought to writing about my accident and the recovery process.

Farewell letters...I had never contemplated something like this. Need to think about this more carefully. What would I write in these letters that I should be saying while I am alive?
