One month left to finish the birthday list and 10 items to go. I’ll knock off a few this weekend when I visit NYC and go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island for the first time.

It’s so cool to see your list broken down like that! Did I tell you I’ve been keeping a “new things” journal, inspired by your b-day list? It’s for the whole year though, and I don’t have a particular number I’m shooting for.
No, I don’t think you mentioned your journal. That’s a great idea!
