I read a link that said too much sun could burn some succulents :(. I will try your tips though, thank you! Do you think my sad looking plant has a chance of getting better?

And about things I want to learn...calligraphy is definitely one of them! Along with learning to ride a motorcycle. :)

Early this year I made a list of 20 things I hope to someday do. Included are:
skydive
transfer all our family videos to dvds
transcribe journals from early in my life and have them made into books for my kids
....
your list is great! Good luck to you :)
