On Lifetime Goals - Part 3 (?)

This might be the first lifetime goal I've shared. I was reminded about this lifetime goal by viewing the video available here, which is this totally incredible video of this totally average fellow doing this totally awful dance in front of this totally stunning number of travel destinations all in just over three minutes.

It's pretty cool.

It's also pretty famous so please no hatin' on me for linking it. I am absolutely not claiming to be some superduper unique internet user who just "found" this amazing thing. A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend sent it to me the other day. Several years later than the cool kids in school got a copy.

So ... my lifetime goal is to spend a winter in Barrow, Alaska. Sometime. It would be even better if I was going to try to do this without internet access or without other modern electronic distractions. But I'm not that cool. For me this idea is just about spending a very long period of time in a very forbidding place, climatologically (sp?) speaking. I wonder how my generally cheery disposition will hold up after month after month of darkness. My expectation is that so long as the northern lights show up from time to time, I'll be so in awe of the nature all around me that I'll be fine. Of course if my poker play goes poorly (as it most generally does), maybe I'll go Red Rum on everyone.

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of some woman up there (according to the internet) that I found.
