I'll start the ball rolling by wishing to see my president impeached and  permanently banished from any governing activity.  That event is to occur sooner, not later.

He might even welcome that, as there's no such thing as bad publicity...

Close to my home there used to be a major blast furnace and several coal mines, now vanished and smoothed over.

I want to visit what is now Town Park, Telford, around 1850.

In fact, while we're at it, I'll look at the whole of the East Shropshire Coalfield at that period.

And have Butterworth's A Shropshire Lad music playing in the background.

I would really like to be at a Victorian era ball. I want to ride up in a carriage, in my gown, and dance all night under a hundred candle chandeliers.  I want to twirl to an ensemble with suitors lining up for the next dance.
I would love to have been at Woodstock.
Love to have been able to be a Led Zeppelin groupie and travel around and party with them for a while.

This.  That's a pretty big one, historically and culturally.

What if it doesn't turn out as you expect or hope? If you saw with your own eyes that Jesus did not resurrect from his grave, how would that affect your faith?
