Before I die...

As a kid I made this list of things I thought I needed to complete or accomplish, often by certain ages. For instance, I thought I should be published by 25, married by 27, fy in a plane by 27, go Overseas by 30. Of course the list that ensues grew over time. I have a chart where as I accomplish each thing I check it off and put the date beside it. Maybe it's a bit crazy, but man it certainly is fun to be able to check those things off as I get there!
