Bucket List

Friday, August 15th, 2008 | Life | 1 Comment

While I’ve never seen the movie “The Bucket List” (although I’d like to), I like the idea of having a list of things that you want to accomplish before you “kick the bucket.” I’m not trying to sound morbid or anything, and I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, but I realize that there’s a lot of things that I want to do, I’m not getting any younger, and setting goals for myself like this is a good thing.

Also, a lot of things on the list, especially the ones in the travel category, are going to require some financial planning in advance, so acknowledging that now will help me plan for the future.

The list in its current form is just the things that came to mind over the last couple days; I’m sure it’s a living document that will grow (and shrink) over time.

My List

As is custom (or should be, hehe), I try to include a question to pose in every post:

What would be on your “bucket list”?

Clouds and Meteors

Last night was the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. I’d been looking forward to it for a while, since I love watching the night sky and the stars.

Unfortunately, here it was a huge thunderstorm the whole night. Totally cloudy. %@#*. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Of course, I was less disappointed adter I learned that the Leonid shower is November 18-19. And I’ll be on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean.

Epic win…
