The Bucket List

There's nothing clever about this post. I’m working on something a bit wittier for the next post. This is just the basic, would like to do at some point in my life, in no particular order. Some are the basic common ones; others are a little bit more complicated.

See a symphony play “The Planets.”
Dance a waltz at a real masquerade.
See a Broadway play and then go out for burgers. I want to wear an awesome evening dress to both events.
Ice skate. I’m now the closest to being able to do this living in the north and yet I still haven’t. This is also true for my wish of skiing and snowboarding.
I want to surf on North Shore, or possibly wipe out on the beach.
Take surfing lessons.
Take an adult beginners lesson in ballet, jazz, or tap dance.
Learn to play the cello or stand up bass.
Visit another country. At one time, I was picky about this, now not so much. But if I’m winning the lottery and get to choose then, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Tibet, and Japan. That’s just to name a few. Others of course are dependent on other wishes farther on the list.
See the main opera by Wagner in Germany. I’ll be honest; I don’t remember the name of the opera right now.
Swim with manta rays, but hopefully not the same ones the crocodile hunter dove with.
Sail.
Take a cruise.
Break dance.
Play the steel drums or maybe even make my own.
Design a surf board. Not the body itself, but the artwork on it.
See a roller derby competition.
“Flip” a house, and paint it the best shade of yellow ever.
Have a decent garden and grove with all of my favorite fruits. I’ll then make tons of jelly and jam for everyone.
Stand in front of a Jackson Pollack painting.
See the northern lights.
Taste a Bordeaux wine in Bordeaux. After that, I’ll have to go to the Louvre.
Slide down a stair banister big enough for adults.
Solve a corn maze.
Jump from a perfectly good plane.
See a Circe De Soleil performance.
Own a white bull terrier named Frankie.
Star gaze in a dessert.
Climb a tree to get a coconut.
Carve a piece of marble, as well as ice.
See Julia Child’s kitchen at the Smithsonian. There’s tons of other stuff I want to see there too.
Eat at the Whistle Stop Café. Though I’m sure, it’s not open anymore.
Watch the running of the bulls.
See the Taj Mahal.
Create a floor size mosaic with one inch tiles.
Learn to sew.
Learn to throw knives and/or axes. I don’t want to for protection or as a weapon. I like the sport.
See the Jim Henson studio and hopefully one of the numerous Kermits.
See a midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with participants.
See a Chinese New Year parade. I’ll settle for a China Town.
Hit someone with a fish. I also want to throw a tomato at someone.
Shoot a bow and arrow.
Weave a basket underwater.
See at least one match of the following sporting events, Rugby, Polo, Cricket, and NCAA basketball. A World Cup, Olympics, Bowl Game, or March Madness final would also be nice.
Get published, but you already knew that.
I’m sure there are others, but that is my thirty minutes.
