Predictible or have I just done an outstanding job of defining myself in my blog! Then you just know me well enough to see that those things would be in my listings!!
I've also always been know as the steady, stable one as a kid and now as an adult. Not all of us can be pioneers, some of us are just better at the maintenace/steady/consistant stuff.

Agreed. If we were all pioneers, nobody would get anything done! We'd all be out discovering new things without bothering to implement them! Well said. :)

It's so funny - I started this listing...
Isn't letting the dishes go too long the same as procrastinating?
You didn't include meeting me as a famous person you'd like to meet. (heehee)
I think you need to leave one of the biggest joys of the moment open - so you can put "Winning the events at the Senior Olympics"

I believe you can win. I'm happy to flash the other riders to distract them and perhaps induce a heart attack if you'd like me to. :)

Wow, what an offer! Given all the "old folk" it might me mass heart attack time if you did that!!

You'd have to keep your eyes straight ahead and dodge all the geezers falling over clutching their chests. Purely a strategic move. :)
