9. Write something that gets published

I lot of doing this was put forth with the idea I would create something lasting.  It's not terribly effective to start thinking about your legacy when you're 80.

Anyway, I work for an academic institution.  At some point, I'm going to get a graduate degree.  (It's sort of inevitable.  I don't really want one, but it's free and will advance my career and it's mostly free.)

Going back a ways, I have wanted to be a writer for years.  I really had the dream in college, and it's faded somewhat, but never really gone away.

I'm capable of writing pretty well.  I frequently get asked to edit co-worker's papers.  I should be able to produce something.

The thing is, I have no idea what to write.  Part of starting this blog was a slightly better way of codifying this goal.  It's a baby step.  Combining this with writing in my diary might beg me to focus my vision on something and possibly open some doors with whomever I write for.  This is a goal that'll take some follow up, but I think I can pull it off in the next 3-1/2 years.
