The Bucket List

The movie by the same name has inspired me. I have yet to see it, but found an article in a magazine also talking about your bucket list. Thought that I had better create one so that I can check them off. This is starting as a block but will end up as a block on the side of my blog.

By the way, I have already checked off a bunch of them including: falling in love (a bonus - marrying my high school sweetheart); having a great family; starting a non-profit; visiting Italy, France, England; Playing golf at Pebble Beach; etc. These are just the ones that are left.

• Visit the great US National Parks (Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc.)
  
• Parachute
• Drive a race car (maybe Laguna Seca?)
  
• Complete the swim from Alcatraz (escape from Alcatraz ...)
• Visit the Alps
• Tour Japan
  
• Oktoberfest in Munich
• Golf enough to get my index under 10 (been there before :()
• Meet someone really famous that I respect (Oprah, the President, Warren Buffet, ...)
• Get involved in local, regional or state politics
• Get a patent
• Spend New Year's in an exotic location
• Buy a car in Europe, drive it there (including the Autoban) and have it shipped home
• Leave a lasting youth related legacy
• Go up in a hot-air balloon

Some that I still need to decide if they actually make my list ...

• Visit a pyramid (Egypt?)
• Taj Mahal
• Machu Picchu
• Write a book

I will add to this over time, but that should get me started:)
