This post, If you (God forbid) died tomorrow... got me to thinking about this again and this post Hello From Alaksa!, since the location is listed as Fairbanks, I'm sure they meant Alaska, reminded me of one of my bucket list items.

So, just like in the movie "The Bucket List" , what's on your "bucket list"?

My top one is to do my best to make sure my wife and sons never has to worry about money, but for reasons I won't expound now, that one ain't lookin' so good so far, I need to work on it more.

My second one is to get to Alaska to see the Northern Lights. Other than that, I'd like to take my wife on a cruise some day though I'm not sure where to, I'd probably let her decide where she wanted to go.

I'm sure I have others that escape me at the moment and that I will, in time, come up with additions. But I figured this was enough to start the thread.

Thanks bro, but no problem here. If that's what Tom really wants on his list, so be it. His call. Humor can be taken seriously too, no?

I want to move to the Keys in a few years. I'm gonna make birdhouses and go fishing when I'm not diving. Aside from that, I got nothin.
I'd like to smoke a cigar and watch the Steelers today, though. :-)
I wouldn't mind giving Kim Basinger a poke, if that's allowed on the list. :-)

Bingo!

I knocked Ireland off the list a year ago, although I certainly would like to go again.

I know that most of my dreams (say to play in an NHL game) are fantasy and could never happen.

Realistic list items?

SoCal Herf....hopefully in '09. :-)

Scott reminded me of another....to live in Florida again while my health is good enough to enjoy all it has to offer.
[Reply]

SoCalX add that to my list. even if Im going in March :-)
[Reply]

That gives me one to add. To herf with as many inmates as possible when the opportunity permits.

Nothing really.

I am struggling to word this hard, but I don't have a negative thought about who I am yet at the same time I never really thought I was much of anything special or going to go anywhere.

I think I've proved myself wrong in what I've done in my short life. If something happens it does, there is a ton i'd love to do but nothing I feel that is important enough to hit the bucket list.

I guess if anything it would be either a peaceful or positive passing assuming something was to happen tomorrow I rather be known as that guy who just didn't wake up or that guy who *put selfless action here* then that guy who got side swiped by a bus.
