Bucket List

I think it is necessary to have goals and for me a list or "lists" work best.  I'm a chronic list writer.  I have lists for everything.  I thought I would publish my bucket list to have a tiny bit of accountability for me and just to know I've put it out there and hopefully I will be able to cross off some things over time.  As life changes so might my bucket list so some things may never happen and that is OK but it will be nice to see how it goes.  As I complete the item I'll date and put in in italics.  Posted:  4/11/2011.
