How did that happen? Made some progress since 2011. Not sure how these work but now need to maybe add sixteen more. And so I will.
Admittedly I don’t fully remember what some of the original ones entailed. Others, though, are calling to me big time still. Some are even part way together.
Some new:
Icelandic or Austrian Hot Springs | Show the family Hawaii | Attend U of C and/or UBC | Every. Disney. Park. (That’s 1 Californian one, 2 Japanese, and 2 Chinese ones to go although, let’s be real, some more will be built) | A second marathon | create a LinkedIn profile | finish a Margaret Atwood novel | try a morning exercise scheme for one month | spend more time in the Smithsonian | See the Do ré mi fa sol la si do version that is by the St. Lawrence that is also in Calgary | …
… and now just six more.
