It's not just a "List"... It's




I have compiled a list of 40 things. Not in any particular order. It's just a list of things that I have done, seen, experienced, etc... prior to turning 40. Random things that came to mind. Sure, there's more than 40! But, these are the first 40 that came to mind. :) It's simply a collection of things that make "me" who "I" am, today.

Enjoy! You just might be a part of this list of mine!
