When I was young, my goal was to get a new fast sports car. Now that I can afford it, my priorities have changed, I favor the older stuff. I have a few old Jeeps including a '47. Given a free choice, I'd still like to have a Morgan Plus 4 (any year), or even the retro Morgan three wheeler.

The career related 'bucket' items were projects that just happened to fall into my lap. I wound up designing and building components for the Chandra X-ray satellite and the Mars Phoenix lander scientific package. Looking back over my varied career, those are the two things that I am most pleased with.
