What is the thing that you wish to do when you have "time" to do it? I have a long list for my 'one day I'll do that and nothing will stop me once I start!' such as, baking, cooking a complicated, foreign meal, learning Italian, play the Piano, write breakthrough research in the field … Continue reading The List
