This thread was inspired by Whiskey

1. Visit Antarctica, then I will have stood on every continent.
2. Live long enough to be a grandparent.
3. Drive a Formula 1 car.
4. Meet the woman that will be there when I die, and still look at me like I actually matter.
5. Visit the Vatican.

Aww, thank you. I'm a romantic in a very take the money and run world. Numbers 1, 3, 5 are quite likely to happen. 2 I'm not sure....Daughter is highly opposed to having kids, and son is afraid that a female will de-rail his military career...and I have two incurable diseases. In the case of #4, even if she did appear, I'd probably run.

Whiskey... you gotta do #1 before you can do #2!
Or maybe #2 will will help you get #1. :p

Nice lists... I'll have to think in this one.

I've done a good bit of my bucket list in the past few years. The last cross country trip checked off a few (and added a few didn't have time for)
1. See Meteor Crater in AZ. I've wanted to go since I was 7. Check. Very surprised it was privately owned but it was freaking awesome.
2. See the Grand Canyon. Check. But want to go back.
3. Go to Las Vegas. Check. Never want to go back. lol
4. Go to Yellowstone. Check. Would love to go back for longer than a day trip.

A few things I still want to do-
1. Go to San Francisco and other spots in California...basically anywhere but LAX for 4 hours.
2. Move back up north.
3. Meet a nice man who won't compare me to every fucked up relationship he's had.

1. BASE jump down into Sotano de las Golondrinas in Mexico
2. Anonymously pay for a struggling familiy's groceries while at the store
3. Spend a summer hitch-hiking cross country, eat a burger staring out at the Pacific and then head back.
4. Live long enough to see faster-than-light travel
5. Visit Disneyland with my wife and grandson

No honestly I could not think of a 5th thing I would set out to do.. the first 4 were bad enough and since flirting with bucket lists with a potential family member we have been clicking some off her list.
The ONLY one I would like to see for her is holding her grandchild but since I am not having kids or found someone that I would enjoy a giant chunk of life devoted to I do not see that happening.

I am so happy that within three minutes of my house, there is a plethora of Thai/Vietnamese/Middle Eastern restaurants to choose from. I could pretty much live on Pho.

I made the seven jumps I was required to...NO MORE. I worked briefly in Lund...love that country almost as much as Denmark.

I am. I really need to spend some time soon working on something. Been working too hard and not getting time to make things is probably part of what's driving me insane.

There are quite a few sets of sporran chains knocking about in the UK that I've made. Most are Byz stainless....a few are sterling Persian 6-1.

1: Fight a gorilla with a machete.
2: Run an ultra-marathon after loosing my leg in aforementioned fight with gorilla.
3: Use every prescription painkiller currently on the market recovering from fight with gorilla and subsequent ultra-marathon.
4: Recover from yet another brutal set of injuries after Mister Jones and me, stumblin' through the barrio , stare at the beautiful women, thus ending up having to fight every Cholo who got pissed that we were eying his Ruca. Thus winding up in the hospital with three gunshot wounds from a 9mm, two from a .45, and, one from the odd .25ACP (Who even carries those anymore?). Mister Jones wouldn't be so lucky. He would die three days later from injuries sustained while he protected me from a 7'2" Coloumbian immigrant with a cheating wife and a Louisville Slugger with a railroad spike jammed through it.
Four months after his death I would recieve a manilla envelope in the mail with no return address, inside, there would be two Polaroids, one of Maria, the Spanish Dancer "cutting it up" as Mister Jones would say. The other of a homestead in Venezuela with Mister Jones' favorite hat perched atop the mailbox, the address clearly visible.
5: And lastly punch Adam Duritz in the face for performing that song which made me wildly imagine the scene from number four.
