Anything’s Possible List

Here is a mix of goals and bucket list items for me, Sean Callanan.  

I’ll update this every now and then, big thanks to all who helped me cross off items.  I don’t usually share my goals publicly, but I thought this impossible list idea sits best on my site as it is a mix of things I want to do as well as a living document of what I have done.  

It isn’t absolutely comprehensive of my 40+ years but you should get a fair idea of what I have done and what I want to do.
