What's on MY Bucket List?

With the new Morgan Freeman/Jack Nicholson movie coming out about two old codgers exploring the things they want to do before they "kick the bucket", I thought I would range about and consider what would be on that list for myself. The Web Site, 43things.com is a helpful place to begin. It has all kinds of listers, 1001 best movies, worst movies, goal setters, etc and yes, even bucket lists. But I wanted to set my own list, not join with others or have my list reviewed by the group.

Hence, my personal blog's Bucket List.
