The "2012" List

Every time you "catch up" with someone you haven't talked to in a while, what's the first question they ask? For me, it always seems to be "What have you been up to?" I dread that question, because I almost never have anything interesting or exciting to say.

Well, all that's about to change. For the year 2012 I've created a list of 10 things I want to do. And to make it even more fun, it's all things that I've either NEVER done before, or things I haven't done since I was a kid.

Now, I bet most of you are saying: 2012? But isn't that like 6 months away? Yeah, it is. But since I have to save up the money to pay for these things (See previous blog about my finances, and surely more to follow) I figured I'd better make the list now, so I can be prepared. There's a reason that's the Boy Scout's Motto.

And without further ado... here's the list:

1. Join a Bowling League
2. Visit Leavenworth (February)
3. Go to Silverwood (May)
4. Spokane Loop 24-hour Train Trip (June 23-24)
5. White-water Rafting (June/July)
6. Bite of Seattle (July)
7. Go to Seafair & Watch the Hydros (August)
8. Attend a Rodeo (September, maybe)
9. Attend a Live Seahawks Game (October/November)
10. New Years @ the Needle (Do I have to say December?)

Of course, I hope to not be doing these things alone so hopefully some of these interest some of you and I'll have some company.

Okay... I made some changes to timing. I moved the 24-hour Train Trip to June, because it would be better to do that when it stays light later. That also allowed for some flexibility on some other events.
