There's this blog I love. No, not mine, but this one. I love it because it’s written by a Dad Gone Mad. He’s funny, erudite, and inspired, need I say more. A few days ago, this post appeared in my Reader, and I’ve gone back to it at least a dozen times. Read it. You smiled, didn’t you?
I've been thinking about my list since I first read his. What's your list? I'll give you mine.
Things I'll Never Be Able To Do Again
1. Worry about getting my period for the first time.
2. Climb out on the roof of my parents house with my brother, Paul, and watch the northern lights dance across the sky.
3. Get caught drinking beer underage.
4. Pet Bootsy.
5. Wear a two-piece swimming suit.
6. Watch Craig pull into the parking lot, jump out of his truck, and wonder "Who's that guy?"
7. Take Intro to Geology.
8. Collect whale fossils.
9. Claim I will never drive a minivan.
10. Experience the first night home from the hospital with my first child.
11. Hear my grandfather call me "Sugar".
12. Judge my parent's parenting.
13. Breastfeed Julia before she goes to bed.
14. Stay out all night.
15. After one month together, hear Craig say "I think I'm falling in love with you."
So that's my list, at least for this moment in time. It took me thirty minutes to put this one together. With another thirty, it might be entirely changed. A list like this could have hundreds of entries. I want to read your lists. If you write one, let me know, and I'll link to it.

Love it! How do you find these blogs? I should make a list - though that would require some time and thought - I will see if I have that later today. :)
yay, I can't wait to see yours.
when i read the first part of #2. climb out on the roof of my parents house with my brother, paul
i thought it would say something more like to sneak out and take the car or something.. not watch the northern lights..
