26 tasks for a 26-year-old

I’m not someone that tries to make things symbolic when there really is no need.  However,  I thought I’d write this post on this date, August 26th, a week shy of my 26th birthday, with a list of 26 tasks that I want to complete.   I know I won’t complete them all anytime soon, but I was inspired by the 30 things To Do list by YesandYes to make good on my own list 26 things I want to start at 26:

1. Learn my mother’s recipe for pound cake and perfect it.
