To Do Lists

I just read a blog regarding a list of 30 things to do before turning 30 (see Skinner Family News) and it sorta made me cringe. I am far, far past 30 so it is too late to do that list. So I'm going to shoot for a list of 45 things to do before turning 45.

Any recommendations on where I should start to create my list. I don't want it to be 45 things to be done in the next 5 years, because that would just be way too much, but I do want to challenge myself.

I guess I'll then need to come up with a project plan with sub-tasks and dependencies, etc. to make all of this happen.....

Maybe I should look more long term and go for a list of 60 things to do before 60. Should I make another list at 45 to be "5 more things to do before 50", and then so on?

Perhaps the first thing I should put on my list is "Have voices in your head agree on the parameters of the list and the rules around creating the list..."

Random Thoughts

I don't really have much to say today, but I have made some interesting observations this week and/or had some random thoughts that I'd like to get down on "paper"...

  1. I was watching television the other night when a Dos XXs commercial just came on and the guy in it looks at the camera and says "It's never too early to start beefing up your obituary." I think they were promoting living life with gusto, etc. but that got me to thinking about what my obituary would say....
  2. I had a dream last night where I was working with our customer, reviewing issues, but they were all like little blue blocks and we were building different walls as we categorized everything. Then Jinjer, whom I've never met in "real life" walks through the room and offers cupcakes. What does that say about what is going on in my subconscious?
  3. While driving in this morning rapping along to DJ Jazzy Jeff and Rob Base (It Takes Two...), I look over at the car next to me and I swear they had a speculum hanging from their rear view mirror. Now who would have something like that just hanging around and why? And, did they notice my mad rapping and dancing skills that I only have in the car.
  4. The Queen and King will be at the HOD in 11 days and I can only hope that my couch arrives in time so that I will have a place to sleep. And, how are we going to coordinate everything that they want to do and see; I only have two days really planned out. And, how do I get to the Oakland airport...

Like I said, I have a bunch of random thoughts running through my head.
