Greater Boston host, Emily Rooney, joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan this week for another installment of her weekly list of obsessions and observations, “Emily’s List.” This week’s theme dwelled on all the things Emily vows, without exception, never to do.
1. Skydiving
— tandem or otherwise. “I don’t want to die, I’m not going to skydive.”
2. Enter a pie eating contest. Simply because, “I can’t win.”
3. Going to China. “I’d be swept up in the government and put in jail.”
4. Sudoku. “I’m not good with numbers.”
5. Playing golf. “It’s a rude sport. It takes too much time.”
6. Going to rifle range. “I’d want to steal all the guns, and throw them away.”
7. Watching reruns of Seinfeld. Or any sitcom for that matter. Because she’s never seen an original. I get agita watching any kind of sitcom.”
8. Going to a jazz concert.” I don’t like jazz, too discordant.”
10. Read War and Peace.
11. Run for office. “Too many skeletons.”
12. Drive an 18-wheeler. “Not going to happen.”
13. Buy a lottery ticket. “It’s a poor person’s tax.”
14. Never going to the Everett casino.
15. And top of her list? “Never going to ride the T.”
