so i realize that i never really finished this blog… never actually finished the list, for that matter. for those keeping score at home, i got through all except two items – #13 taking a language class and #26 – visiting kanemitsu bakery on molokai. (although my trip was foiled by the 2010 tsunami that hit the morning we were supposed to leave!) hard to believe that i haven’t been back to molokai since i started this list, and it seems like taking a language class would be pretty simple as well… but for whatever reason, those were the two that i didn’t finish. so i guess they’ll have to move onto my 35 before 35…
to say that it was a lot of fun going through the items on the list is so inadequate to describe some of the experiences i had… now, over a year later, i’m at another standsill, somewhat. a lot has happened since my first list, and maybe it’s time to start another… (to be continued)
