Like many people, I keep lists of goals that I would like to achieve before certain milestone birthdays.  My “Before 30” list has been mostly unchanged for the past few years.  With the exception of “Meet Chris Sells” and “Get Married”, I have not made much progress on my list.  “Buy a House” still seems reachable, but “Have a Kid” is looking less and less likely as the time remaining before my 30th birthday rapidly converges on the gestational period of a human being. 

The other two goals on my list have never been revealed publicly.  Sure, my friends know what they are, but that's about it.  One of them was a long shot to begin with, so it will simply have to roll over onto my “Before 35” list along with the “Have a Kid” thing.

The final item on my list is still not something that I am ready to reveal, but I have taken an important first step towards reaching it (or failing miserably trying) in the near future.  Stay tuned.

Update:  It's been a month.  I'm guessing that it won't happen after all.  Life goes on.  :(
