What's one goal you want to accomplish that others may not know about? Something that given time and effort, you possibly can accomplish in your lifetime.
I would love to write a book one day. I don't particularly care about finding sucess as a writer since there are hundreds of thousands of writers, who are far more accomplished than I ever will be. I mainly want to put my ideas/thoughts in writing to share with others (wow...that sounded arrogant AF).

That and to provide my kids the mentoring and financial support to give them a shot at Ivy league schools if they want - especially now that I have seen first-hand the type of launching pad it is for careers/success.
Make the perfect bloody mary (i've been told it's perfect but I need to keep at it)
Learn how to surf.
Snowboard the perfect run. (close but not quite)
I specifically mentioned something that given time and effort you can POSSIBLY accomplish. Not something that'll remain a dream forever.
Now, having gone through 2 stem cell transplants, bone lesions on hips, ribs, and skull, and just coming off of multi-level cervical spine fusion from vertebrae collapsing from the cancer..and near death complication afterwards
My one goal, before my time is up, and in honor of my coach (whom had passed away from a fall last year, and few others important to me, I'd like to run and finish one more marathon. my goal..no one believes I can except myself of being able to do so.
So building out my own website (not sure yet what the content would be) and learning website infrastructure would be my goal in the short term.
Long term, be the best father I can possibly be. Nothing else matters, all things considered.

We've all followed your ordeal and witnessed your amazing determination and attitude. Whole others may not believe that you can accomplish your goal of running one more marathon, I believe that if anyone can, it's you, micky! Here's to wishing you continued blessing and your journey back to your marathon goal.
WORST.MOD.EVER.

Best of luck to you Micky. Not sure if you've heard of Matt Long but I heard him speak a couple years ago at a work conference. He was a 9/11 responder with the fire department who was also an Iron Man. He ended up getting hit by a bus while riding his bike to work in 2005 and almost died and almost lost both legs. Hearing his journey back to not only walking but completing in an Iron Man was incredible. I have the book in this link but haven't had a chance to read yet.

Congrats! Hope it opens up new and exciting opportunities for you.

You should have been more clear!
That's awesome. Good luck!
Write an engaging and enjoyable to read book on the Reconstruction Period in US history. Its a crucial and complicated period for understanding modern US history. However, most scholarship on he topic is often laborious reading.

Wow! I hope you do it! Is there a specific race you're training for?
Regarding the OP, my goal is to be half the man Micky seems to be. Life is a gift, I need to more aware of this fact.
Which one?
The riding mower may never happen but #2 is looking good.
My whole life has just been putting one step in front of the other. I mean objectives, yeah, like finish school/grad school, get a job, etc. But nothing that I have ever said that "before I die I would like to..." or even "one day I want to...", that I can think of.
I just realized that I am a plodder at best and maybe even just a drifter. Very sad. Thanks a hell of a lot, Ronnie.

You made me chuckle Brett

Other ones include:
Climb a couple of the seven summits - Kilimanjaro, Vinson in Antarctica, maybe Denali. Definitely not Everest which is way too ethically dubious.
Play guitar half as good as John Frusciante
Masturbate 24 times in a 24 hour period
All very attainable, but held back (like most of us) by the need to spend so much time making a living.

Thankfully you've raise three amazing kids despite you being a drifter. So you've got that going for you.
Gen X poster child.
This is mine as well. I'd also add my plan is when I die my children have Fuck You money. Not sure how well those two goals will coincide.
