life list

November 30th, 2011

I drank a pint in Dublin and felt the winds on top of the Cliffs of Moher. I’ve seen the Eiffel tower and ate a 10 course meal at an underground restaurant in Paris. I saw the Mona Lisa up close. I have walked up the stairs to the attic where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis and spent the afternoon at a coffee house in Amsterdam. I marched in the torchlight procession during Edinburgh’s Hogmanay and I had an afternoon tea in London. I’ve eaten tapas with friends in Barcelona. I’ve ridden a cable car in San Francisco and driven around LA in a convertible. I’ve been to 24 different States. I’ve worked on a Broadway show, commissioned a piece of art and ate dinner at Per Se. I taught my kid sign language and introduced him to the Beatles. I’ve baked a loaf of bread from scratch, seen whales swim in the pacific and learned what kind of wine I like to drink. I BLOGGED EVERY DAY IN NOVEMBER FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW.
