The Bucket List

The quiz post from Tuesday got me thinking... I have a Bucket List.  Why not post it?  They say that goals written down are exponentially more likely to come to fruition.  I can only imagine that sharing goals with friends gives them an even higher probability of actually happening!

Some of the things on this list are big.  Some are small.  { A few would may even be considered completely normal experiences for some people. }  And they're in no particular order, other than my feeble attempts to categorize.
