Bucket List

I created this list a few months ago when everyone was talking about bucket lists, and I revisited it the other day. It's not too bad. There are quite a few "big ticket" items on it, but when I think about it, they are really things that I'd like to do and see, so might as well have them down in print and see if that pushes me towards them.
