I'm going to do something today that I've never done before.

Try to guess. If you begin with "I hope it's..." I predict somebody will get it quickly.

IN THE COMMENTS: The second commenter, Rockeye said:
Going shooting. A boy can hope.
That's the answer. I shot a gun!

I had 2 hours of training and practice at shooting range.

AND: Here's my new post with video.

I hope it’s . . . not illegal.

Coke?

D.D. Driver বলেছেন...

Request an absentee ballot?

gspencer বলেছেন...

get a tattoo

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

change party registration to Republican.

Rick বলেছেন...

"I hope it's"...announce your candidacy for public office. I don't expect you to win, in fact the reverse. But it would be an informative test to identify how many liberals there are in Madison.

Expat(ish) বলেছেন...

I’d like to know what @Meade guessed.

-CC

Equipment Maintenance বলেছেন...

Buy Meade some shorts.

AustinRoth বলেছেন...

Bikini wax?

tcrosse বলেছেন...

Call spirits from the vasty deep.

Jay Vogt বলেছেন...

Well, who knows. But, that's normally the start of a good day. Hope it is.

Ken B বলেছেন...

Be neutral.

Birches বলেছেন...

DD Driver has a good guess.

Ken B বলেছেন...

Rick's suggestion is a good one! I'd vote for Althouse for senate. Except I’d never live in Wisconsin.

First Tenor বলেছেন...

I hope it's try your hand at animation, ala early commentator Chips Ahoy.

Amadeus 48 বলেছেন...

I hope it is walk naked down State Street to illustrate your commitment to individual liberty and free expression in these troubled times.

Come on, professor. You have still got it!

Alternatively, wear blackface down State Street for the same reasons.

Alternatively, wear a sign board that says, "He that knows only his own side of a case knows little of that."

MayBee বলেছেন...

What I think you've been wanting to do for a long time: Try LSD. But I don''t hope its that.

What I've been hoping you would do for a long time: take a yoga class. But I don't think yoga studios are open in Madison

What I think you've been secretly longing to do: visit Japan. But I know it isn't that.

So....I hope it is get a dog.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...

I've had LSD — 50 years ago.

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...

No way I'm up and visiting Japan today. You have to get in a plane.

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

Have you done yoga before? That might be a guess.

You're getting a dog?

You're going to appreciate the beauty of a man in shorts.

I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...

Parachute?

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

I didn't see Left Bank's guess before I guessed.

Francisco D বলেছেন...

Ann Althouse said...I've had LSD — 50 years ago.

Window Pane, Orange Sunshine or some other variant?

Why do I know these names?

I tried LSD in 1971. It was great, but I did not like the long term prospects. I might have become a CHAZ/CHOP resident.

NCMoss বলেছেন...

Going for a run in your birthday suit to protest for world peace?

mccullough বলেছেন...

Put up an American flag

Matthew Heintz বলেছেন...

Anal sex?

Sebastian বলেছেন...

"I'm going to do something today that I've never done before."

Resolve to vote on the basis of policy and principle rather than personality.

BlackjohnX বলেছেন...

Admit I was wrong about something

jeff বলেছেন...

Hold my beer, watch this...

dbp বলেছেন...

I hope it's get a puppy! They love early morning jogs, but carrying a plastic bag of poop is kind of a drag, though it is the right thing to do as a responsible dog owner.

Kylos বলেছেন...

Shoplifting?

I'm Full of Soup বলেছেন...

On further thought, it has to exclude exposure to other people so parachuting is out. Perhaps she is mailing me a birthday card which she has never done before.

MayBee বলেছেন...

Ha! You didn't say it isn't yoga!!!! I hope it's that!

MayBee বলেছেন...

If it's yoga, and you like it, then I will send you a gift certificate to take an online class at my yoga studio.

Fernandinande বলেছেন...

Not care what they say and not stay in a world without love?

Ron Nelson বলেছেন...

The way that phrase has been traditionally finish is "a boy" or "a girl". If this is Ann's first grandchild that would fit with "I'm going to do something today that I've never done before."

Mark O বলেছেন...

Stay in bed all day.

Dan from Madison বলেছেন...

banning a commenter or commenter(s)

Hammond X. Gritzkofe বলেছেন...

I hope it's go to a pistol range. Rent a Ruger 2245. Good to start with. Pistol shooting - it's a zen thing.

buwaya বলেছেন...

Convert to Catholicism.

Leslie Graves বলেছেন...

It might be cut your own hair? But that doesn't work with the prompt.

Kai Akker বলেছেন...

I hope it's fun.

I hope it's selling most of your stock portfolio. That should be fun, in retrospect.

LAST CALL @ 11 Wall

Carol বলেছেন...

Too late to file for office I think. Unless as a write-in.

Meade বলেছেন...

I hope it's... be in the car buckled up in 4 minutes. Or we'll be late!

Rosalyn C. বলেছেন...

Go jump in the lake?

PatHMV বলেছেন...

Endorse Trump for re-election?

Bushman of the Kohlrabi বলেছেন...

Take a passionate stand against the suppression of free speech?

Ken B বলেছেন...

It won’t be, attend Wagner's Ring.

Sebastian বলেছেন...

"I'm going to do something today that I've never done before."

Admit the right is right.

Jaq বলেছেন...

"Admit I was wrong about something”

She’s done that, she said she was sorry that she voted for Hillary.

Andrew বলেছেন...

"I've had LSD — 50 years ago."

There goes your chance at a Sup Ct nomination. Remrmber Douglas Ginsburg?

cubanbob বলেছেন...

Considering the great job that you and Meade did covering the fracas during the Walker recall I thought for a moment the two of you would go to Seattle to report on CHAZ/CHAZ. Then I remembered you guys don't fly. Whatever it is, I hope it's fun.

Readering বলেছেন...

How was the egg salad?

tcrosse বলেছেন...

Loot.

AZ Bob বলেছেন...

End moderation?

Mark বলেছেন...

Finally apply moderation to the trolls who offer nothing but personal attacks.

But apparently you approve of Drago and the rest shitting on your blog and ignoring your rules.

loudogblog বলেছেন...

Watch a movie that I've been resisting watching because everyone tells me that I should watch it.

PM বলেছেন...

Finally get a driver's license. Good luck on the parallel park!

AllenS বলেছেন...

You are either going to buy, or shoot a gun, or a combination of both?

David Blaska বলেছেন...

Read, aim ...?

David Blaska বলেছেন...

Ready, aim ...

Leland বলেছেন...

I hope Meade is putting on shorts.

ColoradoJim বলেছেন...

Ride on your ebike all the way to the lake without the motor being used? Or perhaps skipping the car on your sunrise runs? You are probably in your best shape in a long time so I can see it as one of your challenges.

n.n বলেছেন...

... a "boring" day?

RigelDog বলেছেন...

Wash your shoes?

I hope it's get a puppy, though. Somehow I'm feeling skydive.

Shane বলেছেন...

I hope it's...taking photos of sunsets

Lewis Wetzel বলেছেন...

Start smoking?

NorthOfTheOneOhOne বলেছেন...

You're buying an AR-15.

Temujin বলেছেন...

Its either that you're going to make a video of you and Meade and post it online, or...you're finally going to allow Meade to wear shorts.

Eddie বলেছেন...

I was thinking "porn," but then I remembered the egg sandwich video.

BudBrown বলেছেন...

Wear a mask to a store and not rub it?

Krumhorn বলেছেন...

I hope it’s going bass fishing.

- Krumhorn

Harry Lime বলেছেন...

I know what it's not: eating an egg salad sandwich.

langford peel বলেছেন...

"I'm going to do something today that I've never done before”

Make sense.

Richard Dolan বলেছেন...

I hope it's safe.

Let’s not get nuts here!

Japan is a long way to go for a dog.

bagoh20 বলেছেন...

Let Meade wear your clothes?

bagoh20 বলেছেন...

Climb Everest?

bagoh20 বলেছেন...

Behead an infidel?

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

My wife and I were talking about shooting yesterday. Guns and shooting is something I learned in Boy Scouts. (I've done very foolish things with a .22 despite that, but no one was shot). She had hunter safety in high school, but has never shot a gun.

MayBee বলেছেন...

Exciting! How did it go?

rehajm বলেছেন...

Nice! How'd it go? Are you interested because of self-defense? Just curious?

Earlier this year brought my spouse along to an academy clinic and spouse's office assistant asked if she could maybe tag along next time. There's lots of quiet but curious people out there.

I've also found lefties 'hate' guns but love love love shooting them...

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...

I put up a new post with video. Check it out.
