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.

Going shooting. A boy can hope.

Sleep in and forget the sunrise.

Josephbleau ayon kay ...

I hope it’s . . . not illegal.

D.D. Driver ayon kay ...

Coke?

D.D. Driver ayon kay ...

Request an absentee ballot?

gspencer ayon kay ...

get a tattoo

Dave Begley ayon kay ...

change party registration to Republican.

Rick ayon kay ...

"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) ayon kay ...

I’d like to know what @Meade guessed.

-CC

Equipment Maintenance ayon kay ...

Buy Meade some shorts.

AustinRoth ayon kay ...

Bikini wax?

tcrosse ayon kay ...

Call spirits from the vasty deep.

Jay Vogt ayon kay ...

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

Ken B ayon kay ...

Be neutral.

Birches ayon kay ...

DD Driver has a good guess.

Ken B ayon kay ...

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

First Tenor ayon kay ...

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

Amadeus 48 ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

I've had LSD — 50 years ago.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

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

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

Parachute?

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

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

Francisco D ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

mccullough ayon kay ...

Put up an American flag

Matthew Heintz ayon kay ...

Anal sex?

Sebastian ayon kay ...

"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 ayon kay ...

Admit I was wrong about something

jeff ayon kay ...

Hold my beer, watch this...

dbp ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

Shoplifting?

I'm Full of Soup ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

MayBee ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

Ron Nelson ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

Stay in bed all day.

Dan from Madison ayon kay ...

banning a commenter or commenter(s)

Hammond X. Gritzkofe ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

Convert to Catholicism.

Leslie Graves ayon kay ...

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

Kai Akker ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

Meade ayon kay ...

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

Rosalyn C. ayon kay ...

Go jump in the lake?

PatHMV ayon kay ...

Endorse Trump for re-election?

Bushman of the Kohlrabi ayon kay ...

Take a passionate stand against the suppression of free speech?

Ken B ayon kay ...

It won’t be, attend Wagner's Ring.

Sebastian ayon kay ...

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

Admit the right is right.

Jaq ayon kay ...

"Admit I was wrong about something”

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

Andrew ayon kay ...

"I've had LSD — 50 years ago."

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

cubanbob ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

How was the egg salad?

tcrosse ayon kay ...

Loot.

AZ Bob ayon kay ...

End moderation?

Mark ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

PM ayon kay ...

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

AllenS ayon kay ...

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

David Blaska ayon kay ...

Read, aim ...?

David Blaska ayon kay ...

Ready, aim ...

Leland ayon kay ...

I hope Meade is putting on shorts.

ColoradoJim ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

... a "boring" day?

RigelDog ayon kay ...

Wash your shoes?

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

Shane ayon kay ...

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

Lewis Wetzel ayon kay ...

Start smoking?

NorthOfTheOneOhOne ayon kay ...

You're buying an AR-15.

Temujin ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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

BudBrown ayon kay ...

Wear a mask to a store and not rub it?

Krumhorn ayon kay ...

I hope it’s going bass fishing.

- Krumhorn

Harry Lime ayon kay ...

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

langford peel ayon kay ...

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

Make sense.

Richard Dolan ayon kay ...

I hope it's safe.

RobinGoodfellow ayon kay ...

“ Blogger Sebastian said...

Let’s not get nuts here!

Tomcc ayon kay ...

Japan is a long way to go for a dog.

bagoh20 ayon kay ...

Let Meade wear your clothes?

bagoh20 ayon kay ...

Climb Everest?

bagoh20 ayon kay ...

Behead an infidel?

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

Exciting! How did it go?

rehajm ayon kay ...

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 ayon kay ...

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