Happy Birthday Josh!
30 years old, your almost an adult now, almost.
Happy "you-are-NOW-a-submasters-runner" day :-D
Happy "Big 30" Birthday!! You accomplished a lot in your 20s and I'm very impressed to read your goals in your 30s. May it be a great decade for you. All the best, Janine
Geezer!
Congrats!
Congratuations on your accomplishments and good luck on your next ones. Just think about looking back to your blog in 10 years and seeing what really happened. :)
you're off to a great start already. when you start training for everest, start on the 14ers in colorado.
once you have a couple of kids, my guess is a wildly exotic mini-van.
Happy Birthday Josh - I hope you hit all your goals in record time!
Happy happy, Josh!!
Love the goals... although they were a little frivilous for my tastes, how about some basic, practical goals like "eat my weight in cheese" and "wear a pink boa to family gathering"
Late to the party but Happy Birthday:)
Shoot, I was so certain I'd commented! Something must have interrupted me.
Anyway, Happy [Belated] Birthday!
Happy Birthday! You have great lofty goals. "If you don't have a goal there's nothing to shoot for." It's fun to look back and see so many major life accomplishments too, I bet.
I love the Shakespeare quote - we just saw a 'Shakespeare in the grass' summer play last week.
I can't begin to vote on the baby's sex. I will say, that we did find out - we always have. But I have learned something in the past week. All of those old wives tales about how you carry, what you crave, morning sickness gender predictions, chinese astrological formulas, even mother's intution . . . they were ALL wrong for this baby. Ya never know. I admire you're quest for surprise - that's exciting for you guys.
Happy Birthday!

Have fun!
Great goals for your 30s. I sort of skated through that decade. Worked too much, didn't love enough and got burned out. I like your plan much better.
Fantastic accomplishments in your 20s. Your 30s will rock.
I found your blog on CRN and read through your posts. Great site. And a fantastic list for your 30's. They go quick so start now!
