I've got a fun plan for 2008. Twelve times throughout the year -- roughly once a month -- I'm going to do something I've never done before, then I'll write about it on magicalmonkey.
You see, 2007 has been a freakin' awesome year, and I think it's because I've done things I haven't even thought about in years....things which, in 2006, I wouldn't have considered feasible. I got back in the gym, and now I feel SO much better -- a year ago, I couldn't put my pants on without back pain. I lost weight, and now my risk has been lowered for a host of diseases and conditions -- last Thanksgiving, I saw my own future in family members who struggle with diabetes and orthopedic conditions. And I started this blog, which has become a cool little catalyst for creativity in my life.
So I want to keep it up! I've started a list of ideas......please help! Post a comment or e-mail me. Or better yet.....compose a list for yourself, and we'll help each other do things we've never done before. You go zorbing with me, and I'll attend a Star Trek convention with you. Or vice versa.

Hmmmm...where to start. Could possibly help out with the roadtrip without knowing the destination. Zorbing sounds cool but I don't know where the closest spot to do this is. You would probably want to do it first because I'm not sure if my lunch is staying put. Can help with the long hike also.
I'll do Vegas with ya!
