A long time ago I wrote a list of things I wanted to do before I died. I wish I could find it. It would be nice to know what (if anything) on that list I have accomplished. But since I can't find that list I'm going to start a new one and hopefully one day I'll be able to say that I have accomplished all of these things.

1. Go skydiving
2. Live in another country for at least 6 months
3. Learn to speak another language fluently
4. Travel to Italy
5. Read the complete works of Charles Dickens
6. Take a trip just to see all the roadside attractions (i.e. world's largest ball
of twine)
7. Have a house that has a library with floor to ceiling bookcases, leather chairs,
and a fireplace
8. Go to Scotland and try to find Nessie
9. Spend Mardi Gras in New Orleans
10. Own a Savannah cat and train it to walk on a leash
11. See George Strait in concert
12. See Bob Dylan again
13. Attend a lavish New Year's Eve party
14. Have a job doing something that matters
15. Write a book
16. Read the classics
17. Travel to Russia
18. Attend a show at the Moulin Rouge in Paris
19. Take ballroom dancing lessons
20. Attend at least one event at the Olympics (ideally figure skating)

I suppose I could refer to this as my bucket list. Although calling it a bucket list makes me feel like I'm much older than I actually am.
