a scary realization

Question. Do half-birthdays count if no one remembers them, including your self? I realized today that this past weekend was my half-birthday. That’s right, I’m 37.5. (In case you’re wondering, I don’t look a day over 37.25.) And that’s the perfect time to revisit The List. The List of the 37 things I want to do in the year before I turn 38. My report card for The List? A good C-. I’m only a third of the way to accomplishing all of the tasks. I need to get busy.  And several of the items are looking pretty daunting, hello #27. Others should be pretty simple, #9 & #25. I’ve found a location for #33. Anyone else want to join us?

So here’s the thing, dear readers. I need your help. If you aren’t reading regular updates posted to The List, then clearly I’m not doing them.  Your job is to shame me.  And I know you can do it.  Thanks, in advance, for your kind assistance.

    First of all…children give half ages all the time, so noticing a half birthday is just embracing your inner child, it’s a good thing.

    I hereby vow to mock and shame you into upping your list accomplishments:)

    Thanks for the blog Mike, always enjoyable

    Gee Mike, I am very impressed with your list!! Having grown up in Ohio (Cuyahoga Falls sound familiar), I must admit I never made it to Cincinnati. Lived in Columbus for a couple of years before moving to Upstate New York (yes it is true, not everyone lives in NYC), so please explore more and blog on your adventures!!

    Definitely celebrate your half birthday if you remember when the day rolls around! Why not?!

    Your list is great. I got a chuckle out of #6 followed by #7! 😆

    Why not start working on those on your half birthday? 😉
