My IMWNO List

I don’t have a bucket list—but I do have a “If Money Were No Object” list. Things I’d buy IMWNO:
Apple iPod nano 16 GB Graphite (6th Generation)
OK, I know it’s only $165, but I already have a 120 GB Apple iPod classic; $165 seems like a lot to pay for a tiny FM radio.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens
Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro Lens
As I young man, I spent a lot of time walking around with a 35mm film camera and some lenses, eventually acquiring a Canon A-1, a Vivitar 28-80mm zoom lens, and a Vivitar 70-210mm zoom lens with a macro ring for taking close-up shots. Somehow, a point-and-shoot digital camera just isn’t the same. $6481 is a lot of money, though. (Why not just use the old lenses on a new body, you ask? They won’t fit—different mount types. Everything’s built for auto-focus nowadays.)

2011 Jaguar XKR Convertible in Spectrum Blue Metallic.
’Nuff said. $111,250.

If such a thing were available: a Red Lobster franchise so I could eat there anytime I wanted (sadly, they’re all company-owned).
