Anyone have a copy of Lou Holtz's 107 goals that they could post or email to me? Thanks.

Lou Holtz accepted a coaching job in South Carolina. He and his wife used up all of their savings to buy a house and move from Connecticut to S.C. A week into his new coaching job the Head Coach Marvin Bass resigned.
The new coach promptly fired Holtz. His wife went to work and he became 'Mr. Mom'. One day, in between changing diapers and watching his 3 kids, he sat down and wrote out a list of goals he wanted to achieve in his life. There was a total of 5 categories: 1. Things he wanted to achieve as a husband. 2. Things he wanted to do religiously. 3. Things to achieve professionally. 4. Things he wanted to do financially. 5. Things to do for excitement-personally.
Of the ones that I know about are: Jump out of an airplane. Land on an aircraft carrier. Be on the "Tonight Show" Make two holes-in-one. Play the best golf courses in the world. Have dinner in the White House. Meet a sitting President. Meet the Pope. Coach football at Notre Dame. Win a National Championship. Go on an African safari. Run with the bulls in Spain with a slower person!
Of the 108 goals that he listed, he has crossed off 102.
The above is from his autobiography, Wins, Losses, and Lessons. This was an excellent read. I was not a fan prior to reading but I became one afterwords.
I am interested if anyone has others.
