2010

I'm not much into introspection but I've done some of it in the last couple of months: in November because I turned 61, and in the past couple of days because I realize I an entering my 8th decade! I can remember a time when I thought 61 was "dead with old age" and that NO ONE could possible live through 8 decades. What I have come to realize is that I've had an amazing journey and I still have many, many things I want to do. Here's a sample:

1. Complete our project of visiting all the National Parks and Monuments;
2. Complete our project of visiting all 50 states (12 to go!);
3. Visit my nephew and his wife in Mozambique;
4. Learn to knit;
5. Shoot 100 or better on the golf course;
6. Visit Tuscany;
7. Attend the Rose Bowl Parade;
8. Take a trip on the Orient Express;
9. Obtain a Master Naturalist certification;
10. Take piano lessons;
11. Take liberal arts classes;
12. View the fall colors in New England.

Now that's a lot to live for!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!
