You mean a bucket list? I have one on Facebook.* And I've crossed off three of the items, so far.

*visit a bunch of places
get a BA degree (done)
meet at least 3 online friends (done)
explore the Smithsonian
live outside of WI for at least one year
go sky-diving
ride in a hot air balloon
write a book
see a live professional dance performance
go to the Atlantic Ocean (done)
go to the Pacific Ocean
learn another language
be completely debt-free (student loans)

and I'll probably add more stuff to that list as it occurs to me

Do you have a list of things to do or try before your time on earth expires? If so, what are some of the things on that list?

Follow Jesus and invite others to join.

But in addition to that major one, I want to visit Israel. I hope I can this year.

I don't have a list per se, but I definitely have more than a few things I'd like to get my kicks on before I croak. I, personally, believe in trying new things on a somewhat-regular basis (had this whole rule thing years ago, which kinda forced me to just up and try new things frequently). As I age though, I get less risk-taking-ish. Lol, whatever. Maybe it's temporary though because I totally had a hankering to do something risky recently, so maybe that side of me is not yet dead. ;)
