In college, by coincidence, I studied Italian and Dante Alighieri at the same time. Some of you know that my cat is named Dante, which is a tribute to the great poet. I thought it would be way cool to read La Divina Commedia (not just Inferno; only the entire trilogy would do) in Italian. Those of you following my goals over the last several months or years may have noticed that one glaringly absent from my list. I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. I did not, in fact, complete the goal years ago. Rather, I no longer give a poop about reading Dante in Italian. Someone took the time to translate it into English for me, and I have other things to do with my time than fight a language I barely know... like sing and play guitar, which, it turns out, impresses people much more than my multi-lingual abilities (and sometimes earns me an income.)

Goals are dynamic, people.
