Before I start "My Next 30 Years"

Well as of Christmas 2008 I have exactly 19 months before I hit the big 3-0. My original thought was just to start blogging about my "training" for the City to Shore ride for MS but there really is so much more that needs to be done. I hope everyone will enjoy watching or reading about me checking each of these off of my list.

PS. I left 30 open for some Ahh HA moment that may come up but I am also willing to take suggestions. Thank you for reading!

    This one needs its own post. I want to see the progress. Do ou mean 50 new ones or 50 including those you've already tried?

    14) Visit another 4 baseball stadiums not previously visited

    I'll go with you to Baltimare and DC.

    18) Convince Megan that we need a dog

    This is very true. You do need a dog.

    26) Take up Yoga

    Rosey can loan you her pre-natal yoga cds. It was too quiet and peaceful for her.

    27) Become debit free

    Not to rain on the parade, but this goal might be in slight conflict with #'s 5, 12, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 25. Just sayin. :P

    29) Win the Sibling Olympics (I can't explain it yet but I have to win)

    Not a chance on this one.

  2. Great list! When you're ready to see the Pacific Ocean, you and Megan can use my guest room as base camp. This may help with the becoming debt free goal that Brian is raining on!

    Looking forward to following your progress.

    Mary
