As 2024 comes to an end and I think about the year ahead, I’m thinking about things I haven’t done. Maybe 2025 will see me doing new things.

I’ve never eaten a wrap.  I’ve had burritos and enchiladas but never had a wrap.  Nothing against them, just never made one and there were always other options available.

I’ve never consumed an iced coffee.  I say “consumed” because using the word ‘drank’ or ‘drunk’ doesn’t sound correct.  Coffee is meant to be consumed hot, lukewarm maybe.

I’ve never been to Europe.  I’m sure I’d do okay, I navigate Epcot pretty well and I know the difference between England, France and Germany.  France is the country by the bridge with the rat-ride.

I’ve never been to a live NBA game.  Not sure if I want to.  I enjoy college basketball much more.

I’ve never changed a boy’s diaper.  See, I had girls.  I don’t see myself being near a boy infant/ child in diapers without a qualified woman diaper changer any time soon, so this might not happen anytime soon.  And I’m okay with that.

I’ve never had surgery.  I’ve been in the hospital and broken bones and have had other ailments, but never had surgery.  Still have my tonsils.

I never won a road race.  Even when I was racing well, there was always 1 guy.  I hung around with several really good runners and I sometimes didn’t tell them about this small obscure race I’d be going to, then I’d be registering or warming up and SON OF A …. there 1 (or more) of them would be.  Either Bernie or Paul or Mike or Les and the other guy, can’t remember his name.  Had a few 2nd and 3rds but never won.

I have never baked a cake.  I’ve cooked many things (perhaps you’ve heard of my wings), I’ve made brownies a time or 2 (or 20), but never baked a cake.

I’ve never caught a fish I could eat.  I’ve caught small fish and a few skate, but never an edible fish.

I’ve never hit a woman.  Don’t plan to, so this one should be good.  Peace out.

I’ve never sprinkled Parmesan cheese on my pizza.  That’s gross.

I’ve never hit a home run.  Played little league and don’t think I did.  Came close years ago in church league softball.  Hit one off the fence and one hit the ground once before hitting the fence.  I’m retired now – so this one won’t change.

I’ve never parachuted.  I think I would – just never had the opportunity.

I’ve never been skiing.  #1, I’m too clumsy and #2 I’m WAY too clumsy.  Plus, not a fan of winter sports.

I’ve never been in a Zombie Apocalypse. Now the ending of 2024 seemed like this might be a viable alternative … so you’re saying there’s a chance.

I’m sure there are many things I’ve never done before- but there’s always 2025.

I can feel it – 2025 is gonna rock.
