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 म्हणाले...

Request an absentee ballot?

gspencer म्हणाले...

get a tattoo

Dave Begley म्हणाले...

change party registration to Republican.

Rick म्हणाले...

"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) म्हणाले...

I’d like to know what @Meade guessed.

-CC

Equipment Maintenance म्हणाले...

Buy Meade some shorts.

AustinRoth म्हणाले...

Bikini wax?

tcrosse म्हणाले...

Call spirits from the vasty deep.

Jay Vogt म्हणाले...

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

Ken B म्हणाले...

Be neutral.

Birches म्हणाले...

DD Driver has a good guess.

Ken B म्हणाले...

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

First Tenor म्हणाले...

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

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

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."

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 म्हणाले...

I've had LSD — 50 years ago.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

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

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Parachute?

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

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

Francisco D म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

mccullough म्हणाले...

Put up an American flag

Matthew Heintz म्हणाले...

Anal sex?

Sebastian म्हणाले...

"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 म्हणाले...

Admit I was wrong about something

jeff म्हणाले...

Hold my beer, watch this...

dbp म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Shoplifting?

I'm Full of Soup म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

MayBee म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

Ron Nelson म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Stay in bed all day.

Dan from Madison म्हणाले...

banning a commenter or commenter(s)

Hammond X. Gritzkofe म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Convert to Catholicism.

Leslie Graves म्हणाले...

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

Kai Akker म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

Meade म्हणाले...

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

Rosalyn C. म्हणाले...

Go jump in the lake?

PatHMV म्हणाले...

Endorse Trump for re-election?

Bushman of the Kohlrabi म्हणाले...

Take a passionate stand against the suppression of free speech?

Ken B म्हणाले...

It won’t be, attend Wagner's Ring.

Sebastian म्हणाले...

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

Admit the right is right.

Jaq म्हणाले...

"Admit I was wrong about something”

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

Andrew म्हणाले...

"I've had LSD — 50 years ago."

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

cubanbob म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

How was the egg salad?

tcrosse म्हणाले...

Loot.

AZ Bob म्हणाले...

End moderation?

Mark म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

PM म्हणाले...

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

AllenS म्हणाले...

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

David Blaska म्हणाले...

Read, aim ...?

David Blaska म्हणाले...

Ready, aim ...

Leland म्हणाले...

I hope Meade is putting on shorts.

ColoradoJim म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

... a "boring" day?

RigelDog म्हणाले...

Wash your shoes?

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

Shane म्हणाले...

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

Lewis Wetzel म्हणाले...

Start smoking?

NorthOfTheOneOhOne म्हणाले...

You're buying an AR-15.

Temujin म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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

BudBrown म्हणाले...

Wear a mask to a store and not rub it?

Krumhorn म्हणाले...

I hope it’s going bass fishing.

- Krumhorn

Harry Lime म्हणाले...

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

langford peel म्हणाले...

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

Make sense.

Richard Dolan म्हणाले...

I hope it's safe.

RobinGoodfellow म्हणाले...

Let’s not get nuts here!

Japan is a long way to go for a dog.

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

Let Meade wear your clothes?

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

Climb Everest?

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

Behead an infidel?

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

Exciting! How did it go?

rehajm म्हणाले...

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 म्हणाले...

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