Another thing to do before I die has been accomplished. (Look for the bolded words)
For those keeping track of these things, I have a list of fifteen things to do before I die that I wrote when I graduated high school. The asteriks are (obviously) what I have accomplished in my life.
1. Live a long, fulfilled life.
2. Get my B. A. (Religious Studies major, French minor)*
3. Get my M. Div.
4. Get a commission in the U. S. Army (probably Reserves)
5. See and swim in the ocean. (Atlantic, Maine) (Irish Channel, New Castle, Ulster)*
6. Get published. (BSU Odyssey)*
7. Have something I've written make it to a library shelf.*
8. Travel somewhere not North America. (Ulster twice, Republic of Ireland twice, England once)*
9. Travel to Canada. (Ontario and Québec)*
10. See Queen (or what is remaining of Queen) live in concert. (16 October 2005, Continental Arena, East Rutherford, New Jersey)*
11. See, touch, and photograph The Garden Lodge (Freddie Mercury's house in Kensington and Chelsea, London) NOTE: only the wall outside is accessible to the public.*
12. Live in a State capital. (Columbus, Ohio represent)*
13. Visit a state capital. (Dublin, RoI and London, ENG)*
14. Own a horse.
15. Get married.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I got fantastic news here in Bracken Library. After waiting over a year, my Honor's Thesis has been filed in special collections. This is not necessarily a "publishing" per se, but I have a card in the e-catalogue now and in a few weeks, I will be e-published through the virtual press.
Hope all is well with all of you.
