"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln

I'm hoping that by sharing my "Life (or Bucket) List" I'll have a better chance at actually turning my dreams into reality and shortcomings into action. Some things have already been checked off (in bold), most have not. Occasionally, I will add new things based on new experiences or learnings. So, here goes!

• Make my own website
• Skydive over breathtaking scenery
• Go sledding! (yes, I live in Chicago and still have never been)
• See the pyramids in Egypt
• Visit Machu Picchu
• Learn how to drive a stick shift
• Learn how to play craps, and play in Las Vegas with a big crowd
• Make Grandma’s sauce and meatballs
• See the Aurora Borealis from a geothermal hot spring in Iceland
• Participate in the annual La Tomatina Festival in Bunol, Spain
• Do a voiceover or podcast recording
• Write myself a letter and open it in 10 years
• Get to 1,000 Twitter followers
• Sing karaoke onstage at the Four Farthings in Chicago
• Become the “manager that everyone wants to work for”
