For those of you that I haven't already mentioned this to, I realized something a couple months ago that I think I need to document.  I'll preface this by saying that I do not want to be a spy.  However, I do want to have a spy's training.  Maybe it's my desire to learn new things.  Or maybe, when put in an extraordinary situation, I want to know how to handle myself.  So, I've started to create a list of things that I should learn.  Here it is so far:

• Skydive (UPDATE: Jumped Sept. 4th, 2004)
• Fire a gun (UPDATE: Went to shooting range July 9th, 2005)
• Scuba dive
• Learn foreign languages
• Some kind of martial art.   I understand Brazilian Jujitsu is good for that sort of thing.
• Picking locks
• Hotwire a car
• Hostile Environment Training

I'm planning on going skydiving with Jeff in December, if he can get up the nerve, and I'll keep you posted on my progress.  Any ideas of other things to add to the list?
