A young man dreams his dreams. And Tuesday Dori Monson, former King of Seattle Talk Radio (KIROFM m-f, 12-3p) announced that he''d he go to zero gravity on a Celebrity Space Flight, June 27th.

With oodles of the feigned emotions he's famous for, Dori admitted he felt all "quivery" about it but allowed that he'd man-up to the challenge because it's for charity (Fred Hutch) and that space flight had been on his lifetime goal list for 29 years!
When I was about 18 years old, I started my lifetime goals list. I wrote down about a hundred things that I wanted to accomplish in my lifetime. At the time, most seemed impossible. The list has evolved over the years. I've added many new goals - and eliminated those that are no longer important to me. But I have accomplished about 40 of the things on that original list.
From a source we got an old hard drive and Dori's and found this historic, early version of The Dori Monson Lifetime Goals List [with new goals and some eliminated because they've been achieved or are no longer important to him]
