I wrote an editorial about gathering data for my brain through experiences. For me this is mostly through travel and going to places, but this could be through a particular experience. For example, I used to want to do an adult fantasy baseball camp, though that’s not on my list. Skiing in Japan, however, is.

I sat down and made a quick list here, things that stuck out in my mind, and I have an older bucket list, but I need to review and break some things down. I like some of what Brent Ozar has in an Epic Life Quest, and I might try to break my list into shorter term goals and longer ones as well.

In the meantime, I’m making a list of places I want to visit. These are in a variety of forms, some cities, some attractions, but all places I’ve thought about. Now we’ll see if I get there:

• Tokyo
• Okinawa
• Mt Fuji
