Number 32 — See the Aurora Borealis

This one, not a toughy. I've lived in Alaska for a combined 10 years at this point and although not a frequent sighting, it's there. My first time however being on a road trip while moving from Washington state to Alaska through Canada. One night in the depths of the Yukon while roasting marsh mallows over an open fire we heard the distinct 'singing' of the Northern Lights. I looked up around me to see the most stunning display I've seen to date full of shades of green and blue with streaks of red, simply amazing.

Accomplished: August 2006

The list begins

About two months ago I got a $20 Border's gift voucher and decided yesterday was the day to finally use it. After about a good hour of searching I'd picked out a good 15 books from The World According to Y all the way to Stuff White People Like. Then I found it, 101 Things to Do Before You Die. Not some boring hardback version of your Grandparents retirement fantasy, but something real. Experiences that people really should live, go out there and fully embrace the world. So I am pledging to attempt to the best of my abilities the 101 tasks presented before me.

Hell, I already have 6 done, how hard could it be?
