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:
