Bucket list
This summer, I had to come up with 100 things I wanted to do during my lifetime. It was pretty easy to come up with about 50, but then I had to stop and think for a little bit. I thought I'd type them up on my blog so I can remember them someday. They are in no particular order, just whatever came to me when I was writing. This is a little awkward to share, but I really want a digital copy so I can toss the scrap paper I originally wrote it on. No laughing.
