This past week, my friend Carrie and I each made a list of things we'd like to do before we "kick the bucket" (a la the Morgan Freeman/Jack Nickolson movie). Silly-ish movie, but based on a good idea. The list can be of realistic goals or crazy wishes, but here's mine. I'm glad I'm getting a fairly early start on it; I've already got a few marked off. I'll let you know throughout the years how I'm doing.
