"summer grants us all the power to drink on top of watertowers / with love and trust and shows all summer (get hammered!) / let this be my annual reminder / that we could all be something bigger." (The Hold Steady, "Constructive Summer")

• write something of moderate length at least three times a week
• see as much improv as humanly possible
• save at least $500 worth of paycheck

• pick up that guitar again (talking dirty to me optional)
