My 60 Things To Do Before 60 List

Welcome to my blog.  I originally started it to track and post stuff about my list, but I think I may add other stuff as I go.  I may post about stuff in my life, what I like or what I don't...  Who knows.  But for now, my main focus is my list of 60 Things To Do Before I'm 60, which my daughter Staci suggested I do, and I think it will be fun.  I always think "I should do that" but never seem to get around to, so now I have a list of things to remind me, and goals set to ensure I do them.  Here is my list of stuff I want to do before I'm 60 (which means I have just over 3 years to do them all):
