Checkin in a month later...

OK so about a month ago I listed the 20 things i'd like to accomplish before my next b'day in June 2011. Alright then, where do I stand in terms of checking them off...let's take a look and see...

1. Visit 5 new cities in the US  - Memphis, Gaitlinburg/Smokies (although I visited a number of new cities during my recent roadtrip, I'll add a qualifier here as having been in a 'new' city for at least 2 nights)

2. Go up in a hot air balloon - tickets are booked & paid up, now to schedule an actual ride

3. Visit 5 Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C

4. Visit a renaissance fair - planning phase

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  - definitely on track...check it out here

11. Live through one of mother nature's little quirks - earthquake - done

12. Skydive - planning phase

13. Ride a mechanical bull - done

14. Spend three months getting my body into optimum shape - have hit the gym everyday for the past 2 weeks

15. Get passionate about a cause and spend time helping it, instead of just thinking about it.

16. Read 20 books  - completed the 3 below

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 

So what do you think? Am I on track or too slow? Do I need to pick up my game??
