'Neverdone' series in 2008 -- want to help?

I've got a fun plan for 2008. Twelve times throughout the year -- roughly once a month -- I'm going to do something I've never done before, then I'll write about it on magicalmonkey.

You see, 2007 has been a freakin' awesome year, and I think it's because I've done things I haven't even thought about in years....things which, in 2006, I wouldn't have considered feasible. I got back in the gym, and now I feel SO much better -- a year ago, I couldn't put my pants on without back pain. I lost weight, and now my risk has been lowered for a host of diseases and conditions -- last Thanksgiving, I saw my own future in family members who struggle with diabetes and orthopedic conditions. And I started this blog, which has become a cool little catalyst for creativity in my life.

So I want to keep it up! I've started a list of ideas......please help! Post a comment or e-mail me. Or better yet.....compose a list for yourself, and we'll help each other do things we've never done before. You go zorbing with me, and I'll attend a Star Trek convention with you. Or vice versa.
