Birthday List Beginnings

When I turned 30, I decided to make a list of 30 things that I had not done that I wanted to try to accomplish in my 30th year. After all, life is short, and I want to go out knowing that I truly LIVED the life that I had.
That year's amazing experiences, adventures, and fun times make me want to keep the list going. I've decided to use this blog space to document the adventures...and to update and add to the list each year.
To see what I've accomplished, click on the archive links on the right to go to specific items from the list in order of the date they were accomplished. New, partially accomplished, or not started items can be found under "November 2011," since I have the year to work on them.
Let me know what adventures you'd like to join me in! You can use the "comment" function to leave me notes. I hope I inspire you to create a list of your own...let me know and if you need someone to join you in your adventures. I'll probably be up for it!

See at least 3 shows at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival- Completed- 10/11/09

This festival in Stratford, Canada draws theater-lovers from near and far.















I joined Marty and Steve Remis and my aunt Judith for 3 days of shows.

We saw Midsummer Night's Dream, Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum, West Side Story, and The Importance of Being Earnest. The shows were fantastic in set design, costume, staging, and quality. I laughed and cried throughout. Stratford is a cute little town in the middle of a lot of farms. They have great restaurants, which we took advantage of, a well-stocked liquor store which we also took advantage of, and Ken's Pomme Frites. He sells french fries out of a van smothered in vinegar, which is just perfect on a cold fall day. The four of us huddled inside an ATM booth devouring the fries. yum!











We also learned how to play Rumikub and spent our evenings enjoying wine, snacks, and strategic game maneuvers.
