I will be forty in three short years. Well, two years and some ten months. I turned 37 in August, and I see 40 sort of looming out there in my future. So I decided to create a list of 40 things I want to accomplish before I am 40. It may turn into before I finish being 40, but we shall see!

I am sharing my list in hopes that A) you can help with the last few items. I am stuck at around 35, and B) I might inspire you to make some goals. So here goes. My 40 before 40 list (in no particular order):
