The Bucket List

Everyone has heard the term Bucket List, right? Well if you haven't, it's a term that means a list of things you want to do in your life before you kick the bucket (aka die). I drafted one up years ago but haven't looked at it since I drafted it up. Bad, bad, I know! I've decided to draft a new one, update it and maintain it. While I'm not archaic, the older I get the more aware I am of my mortality. There's no time like to present to start living life on earth more passionately.
