The 32 list results
Welp, it’s been a year, it’s time to tally up my oddball goals. I did pretty well this year I got 13 out of 22 complete. That’s almost 60% completion. That’s especially good given that this was my first year as a parent. What ideas do folks have for next year?

For those of you that are new to The List, for the past 3 years I’ve made a list of goals whose criteria simply had to be something that would make a good story. It’s a great way to force myself out of my comfort zone and continually learn. The odds of something ending on the list increase if most people’s initial reaction is “that seems like a bad idea”.
