Once upon a time, I made a list. Of things I wanted to do before I turned 30.
Then it morphed. It became stuff I wanted to do at some point in my life, because I live my professional life by deadlines, so these things should be done when I want and how I want.
The list has changed and will continue to, I’m sure, because I am entitled to change my mind. But for now, here it is. I’m including those things I’ve checked off and in some cases, if I’ve written about them, I’ve linked to ’em for your reading pleasure.
