October 40 Before 40 Update
Today, I am a year and a half away from 40!
For this reason, we're looking at my progress on on the 40 Before 40. This has been an on going list since 2017 because some of these goals are bigger and require more than a year to accomplish them. I also realize I now only have a year and a half left to finish.
I'm going to use the same progress key as the 38 While 38:
