40 by 40 Update: #16 Get a Letter Published in the New York Times

(Back in May of 2007 I noticed that a bunch of people in the blogosphere had created lists of 101 things to do in 1001 days. I was intrigued by the notion but felt I needed to change the parameters. So I created my 40 by 40 list. 40 things I wanted to do before I turned 40. Well on August 17th I turn 40, and I need to give $10 to charity for every uncompleted item. So it is time to see how I did.)

16. Get a Letter Published in the New York Times – COMPLETED
Running Tally: $70.00 to charity.

Getting a letter published in the New York Times is harder than it may seem. I saw my opening back in July 2007, wrote a pithy little ditty, and managed to get my name in print.
