I have many luxuries in my life. One of my favorites: the late night comics. I particularly enjoy David Lettermans' Top Ten lists. I am using his format to present some ideas that may appeal to you.

SIDEBAR: Please understand I am not the comedian Mr. Letterman is, so don't expect Dave's brand of humor here. END SIDEBAR
