My Bucket List

I saw a Bucket List here on No Wooden Spoons, and was inspired to make my own.

For anybody who doesn't know what a Bucket List is, it comes from the film "The Bucket List" starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.  It's a list of things to do before you kick the bucket.  In the film the two stars play a pair of terminally ill men who go on a trip trying to do the things on their Bucket Lists.


I first wrote my Bucket List not long after my first marriage ended in 2003 (it wasn't called that then, it was just "The List").  I added to it in 2007 and I'm pretty sure that it hasn't had anything new added to it since then.  Here it is:
