So I found this post somewhere in 2008 (28 and Life to Go) and realized (cause I didn't blog for 4 years) that I never closed the loop on my goals for my 30th birthday which I think I originally posted in 2005. Suppose I'll update it and make goals for about 2 years from now - something simple and sweet. I be gettin' too old for big time dreaming. Who even knows if I'll still be kicking at the well-ripened age of 35. :-P
