40 by 40: Nos. 16-20

The next five items I would like to finish before I turn 40:

16. Watch a television show live.
You know, like the Price is Right, or a talk show. It'd be great fun to watch Conan in the studio. But I'm not picky.

17. Learn to cook.
If you've been reading my blog at all, you know I'm on my way. This is not a specific goal – but I figure as long as I'm working toward learning more about marinades, spices, and all those other culinary necessities, I'm "learning to cook."


18. Learn to dance, as in salsa, the rumba, and all those other fun "couples dances."
We've been meaning to do this for a long time, we learned when preparing for our first dance as husband and wife that most dances are difficult to learn from a DVD.

19. See the Broncos play at Invesco Field.
I have been to professional hockey, basketball and baseball games. I have never been to a professional football game. I have lived in Colorado for more than five years now, and never have even looked into going to see a game at Invesco. I don't even know how to get tickets. Guess it's time to find out!

20. Go to the Grand Canyon.
I've flown over the Grand Canyon, like in a jet on the way to California. But I've never actually seen it up close and in person. This seems like one of those things that should be on everyone's list. Will I step onto the glass platform as seen at grandcanyonskywalk.com? Probably, though I'm sure I'll be terrified the entire time.

This will be the final 40 by 40 list post for awhile. I am taking a break before posting the next 20 items to complete before I am 40. However, I'll be providing an update on a few of the list items I've already posted. Stay tuned ...
