Drive a [McLaren F1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1)

Tell a certain opposing counsel to “fuck off” in open court, but only if there’s a record.

Fly an F-18.

Own a ginormous ranch in Hill Country (beautiful area of Texas nearish to Austin) and establish a horse rescue.

See my kids grown up and happy.

Go to Gatorland. (Don’t ask, don’t get me started on this. It won’t end well)

Graceland. (But you only have to go once.)

Its like Gatorland but less tastefully decorated. 😃
