Spring is a wonderful reminder to get your ass in gear - search for that ideal campsite, work out a bit longer at the gym, and organize your closet so your heavy coats are stuffed in the back.
Here are a few items from my April bucket list:
- Bike Sawyer Trail
- Simplify my living space (maybe make use of these boxes you sneak under the bed?)
- Cook with taro … taking meal suggestions!
- Make a delicious cocktail. I am planning to copy Wolfgang Puck’s Ginger Pineapple Mojito.
- Set up my 401k
- Research backpacking sleeping bags. I am looking for a lightweight, 15F, 3 season bag, at an affordable price without sacrificing quality.
There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work than follow your passions in a way that serves the world and you.
George Mallory spoke these words to a New York Times reporter in 1924 - “Because it’s there.”
Why travel to space? Why climb a mountain? Why explore the depths of the ocean?
Its existence is a challenge.
