31 Things to Do Before 32

Let's start with #32 (it doesn't really count): Start a blog about this list (thank you Karin).

Being a natural, if not neurotic, list maker, below are action items for the year 2008. Some of these so called goals are quite attainable, others very lofty, and some down right ridiculous.
