Bucket List

On my way flying home from Buenos Aires to Chicago I happened to watch part of the movie Bucket List. The movie itself wasn't outstanding, but having Morgan Freeman & Jack Nicholson as the two primary characters did add a lot. Actually some of the commentary between the two was quite interesting, but I'm afraid that I don't really have the time to go into that right now.

In any case I haven't been too successful at coming up with a five year plan, so I though perhaps I could put down some of the things I would like to do in my lifetime. I will type them as I think them and perhaps reorder later, so they are in no particular priority.

1. Visit all 7 continents. (Six down, one to go as of 6-21-08)

2. Visit all 50 US States (Forty-Nine down, Vermont to go)

3. Cause significant positive change in someone's life.

4. Sail around the world. (Started sailing lessons, but I still have a lot to go on this one.)

5. Earn my pilot's license and instrument rating. (You'd think with all the time I spend in planes, I might just learn this by osmosis.

6. Live for a year in another country.

7. Understand God's love for me.

8. Write an income earning book.

9. Learn to play gutar and sing with it. :-) Don't get out the earplugs yet!

There's more to go, but I'll have to write it later....

In summary of my artistic talent, today I told someone:

"I once tried to draw a stick figure, but he promptly walked off the page and said 'I Quit.'"
