no, no- not that list.
several years ago, as i was nearing 30, i realized that i hadn't really done many memorable things, especially on my birthdays. thus, the "30 before 30" list was born.
then, on the other side of 30, i decided to create the "40 before 40" list which, technically, is still under construction. (there are a couple of blanks on it still, including the one that opened up recently when "see chuck berry perform in st. louis" became completely impossible.)
well, fast forward more years than i care to admit, and i still have a lot left to cross off, and under two years in which to do it.
now, there is an awful lot of (cost prohibitive) travel on that list, but i have picked out seven things i'd like to accomplish by the end of 2017:
*visit 3 of the 5 territories (2/3 complete- just need one in the pacific before i can cross this off)
*save enough dum dum wrappers to order something (trickier, since they changed the rules)
*visit a nude beach (i see many workouts in my near future)
*drive as much of route 66 as possible
*cross country road trip (can you tell i was raised in a "road trip" family?)
*see total eclipse (thankfully, one is coming to my doorstep in august)
*run a 1/2 marathon in under 2 1/2 hours (i got frustratingly close last time)
unless i get my dum dum wrappers corralled beforehand, it looks like the first item that i'll be able to make progress on will be (hopefully) the fourth on the list.
i have already begun plotting. 😎
