THE 31 LIST

I am convinced that I have the greatest friends on earth. As I think about them I realize that they all have one thing in common. We are storytellers! This is my favorite thing to do. Whether it is Buck and the boot kick to his backside or Phil and his field goal or Clay and well, anything that he does. No matter day or time, a classic story is always in order.

I have spent that last few days thinking about the tasks on The 31 List. I wanted to put together tasks that I thought would be enjoyable and hopefully give me some new stories to tell. Again, there aren’t really any crowning accomplishments here. Maybe I will tackle lion hunting or a marathon next year, but for now I came up with 31 things that will either make my life or the lives around me better. Some of these tasks I have done in the past, others are new to me. It’s going to be fun. I hope to include you all if I can. Life is better with friends…and…we’ll have stories to tell!

Here’s the list…
