Bucket List

A bucket list, things you want to do before you kick the bucket. Whether they make a physical list or just have some random thoughts floating around, pretty much everybody has a bucket list. After a bit if inspiration from SuperFit (aka Stefanie), I decided to write my own.

So, in no particular order:

• Write a book (working on various books; nothing really coming together).
• See blue water (gonna take a cruise this year!).
• Get totally out of debt (absolutely essential for a bucket-kicker with no heirs).
• See a baseball game in at least half the ballparks in America.
• See a Broadway play, on Broadway.
• See every inch of Italy that has captivated me since childhood, including Rome, Pompeii, Tuscany, Venice, Verona ... .
• See New York in the fall, Arizona in the winter, Washington DC in the spring, and Colorado in the summer.
• Teach.
• Visit Walden Pond, Stratford-Upon-Avon, London, and other places that lit up my imagination when I was discovering literature as a kid.
• Lose enough weight to be comfortable in my own skin at the coolest water parks in America (lazy rivers of the country, look out!).
• Take a cooking class, a cake decorating class, and an art class. Or classes.
• Beat my husband in bowling. For a series. During league.
• Own a house with a big kitchen, a huge master bath with jetted tub, and a swimming pool with a big covered deck (OK, had that once, but I mean something else).
• Get married. Get divorced. Get married. And stop there (so far, so good).
• Drive a black Shelby Mustang. And not wreck it.

I asked Scott what was on his bucket list. It took some thought, but in no particular order:

• Bowl a 300 in a sanctioned league (he's bowled one before, but the league wasn't sanctioned).
• See Notre Dame play football at home.
• Meet Bono and Lou Holtz.
• Perform stand-up comedy, at least once.

What's on your list? And what are you doing to complete it?
