One of the items on a 2011 "things to do" list you have, might be to take time to learn more about history, to include visiting historical exhibits or displays near where you live. Maybe it's a sign of growing older and wanting to learn more about those things in our past, which we cared little about when we were younger, or any other reason to motivate us in this direction.
Of course you can continue to sit on your fat or skinny behind and watch movies, or play electronic games, and remain totally in the present, versus expanding your horizons toward your past. Your call.
