Dishing Up The Action

I'm going to be hitting the big 4-0 in a year's time (yes i divulged my age, so...?) and as I did just before I turned 30, I find myself going through this whole big introspection of where I am in life...have I meet the mark or am I far behind...yada, yada, yada...

I've spent a fair bit of time thinking about my bucket list (No thanks to the movie, pfft!) and I've decided to tweak it a little to the top 20 things I would like to accomplish before June 2011 in no particular order...

1. Visit 5 new cities in the US 
2. Go up in a hot air balloon 
3. Visit 5 Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C 
4. Visit a renaissance fair
5. Eat one thing which I find utterly distasteful
6. Take a ride on the highest roller coaster in any amusement park I find myself at 
7. Attend a broadway musical in NYC
8. Learn to play Poker well enough to hit the tables in Atlanta
9. Visit at minimum 3 new countries 
10. Publish one blog entry per week (oh-o right now i'm 3 posts in areas)
11. Live through one of mother nature's little quirks (check ...ok so i'm cheating but it is kinda cool to list)
12. Skydive 
13. Ride a mechanical bull. 
14. Spend three months getting my body into optimum shape. 
15. Get passionate about a cause and spend time helping it, instead of just thinking about it. 
16. Read 20 books 
17. Send a message in a bottle 
18. Write a fan letter to my all-time favorite hero/heroine 
19. Sleep under the stars
20. Write my will 

Why am I posting this for all and sundry? Coz this way i know ya'll will hold me to it and check-in on my progress. I'm done with the coasting, it's time to act!
