A new list on Life
by tom mulhern on Oct.25, 2010, under Blog

At the beginning of 2009 I made a list of 50 things I wanted to do before the year 2012. There were a lot of lofty goals that I wanted to achieve and I thought that 50 things would be super easy to acomplish. Well it’s a year and a half later and there are some things I have done from the list:
1. Have another child - preferably in July ‘09
2. Travel to another continent
10. Go on a road trip with my family - somewhere we have never been
11. Develop a friendship with someone outside of the church
15. Paint / Create a piece of art to be framed
18. Get involved with an non-profit working in Africa
25. Make a snow fort
29. Take Malora on an unexpected romantic vacation
33. Finish immigration to Canada
38. Climb a mountain (a hard one)
48. Take a course in web design or movie / picture editing
49. Get involved with an organization in Calgary working with people in need
50. Spend extra quality time with friends and family
I think that is pretty good considering the size and scope of the list. So I want to make a new list of 20 things to do before 2012. I will take the things off which I have accomplished and keep some things from the previous list, but I want to add a few new things to the list as well.
I want to work on this list instead of just vomiting out a bunch ideas that I will never actually get around to doing. So, I need your help. What should be on my list of 20 things to do before 2012? Comment and give me ideas and when I have enough ideas I will post my list.
So…What are the 20 things I should do before 2012?

You should add, “consume ZERO refined sugar for three consecutive months” to your list. And maybe, to make the marathon more manageable (because, seriously! a marathon? you’re crazy), you could add another, smaller race. Ooooh, you guys should go to Lake O’Hara (in Yoho). It’s magical.
Annnd, congratulations on the immigration and I want to hear about the non-profit working in Africa.

You cant cross of climbing a hard mountain….. Machu Pichu is an easy one…… either Everest or Kilimanjaro also known as K2.. thats what us mountian climbers call it….

Machu Picchu was hard. You don’t know.. you were probably eating combos when I was reaching 15,000 feet above the earth.
