About a year ago, my boss has us go through a goal-setting excercise of identifying 20 things we wanted to do before we're 'done'. This was before the movie Bucket List came out, so it's wasn't that cliche. The first ten were easy, but the last ten was a bit of a struggle. Since this was over a year ago, some of my priorities/desires/dreams have changed a bit, so I'll need to create a new/fresh list at some point.
I've crossed through the ones I've completed. In no particular order:
- Get a six pack
Go on the honeymoon I never had
Quit smoking
- Eat sushi in Japan
- Get LASIK
- Visit all 50 states
- Read Kurt Vonnegut
- Get drunk and shave my head
Fly a kite in a park and not care how I look
- Take a vacation in St. Whatever
- Climb an artificial rock wall
Learn how to ski
- Take my OWN car to the race track, which means I need to own a race-worty car
- Attend a developer conference in another city
- Find a way to show my parents how much I appreciate the way they raised me, then surprise them
- Buy back my grandma's '65 Mustang Fastback
Ride in the MS 150
- Make a toast in front of a large audience
- Go to a live taping of the Daily Show

Post this on my blog and let someone else recommend my #20
In case you're wondering, I've already written up "20 things I've done", and will post it soon.
