Wish List, Version XXVIII

• I wish I had more time to paint.
• I wish I had an extra camera battery.
• I wish water tasted better.
• I wish my cat respected my furniture.
• I wish chocolate was really good for you, and not good for you in the way red wine is good for you (i.e., mostly bad, but with a single redeeming quality, a quality which for me could be termed "mood stabilizer").
• I wish I could move objects with my mind.
• I wish good always triumphed over evil.
• I wish Dana Carvey had a TV show. Maybe a variety show, like a latter-day Carol Burnett show.
  
• I wish you could work out by reading.
• I wish I hadn't missed yet another committee meeting last week.
• I wish the voting public were smarter.
• I wish those producer guys wouldn't be so piggish and settle the writers' strike fairly. (I don't need The Daily Show. I can quit any time I want. I just don't want to.)
• And (obligatorily),
• I wish for World Peace and Global Cooling (or what I like to call World Coolness).
