Bucket List

Might as well have cute things in a bucket

This is a work in progress and via Jack Canfield I have decided to grow this list to 101 things. That is proving a bit harder than I have thought. I have rules about my list, like, I could list 101 people I’d like to meet, but instead I have meet interesting people and learn from them, but I do have the exception of meeting and talking with Tony Robbins. (They are my goals, so I can break my rules as I see fit. Besides I already have a list of people I want to meet – don’t try to navigate on that link, unless you are willing to add oldsite/ after the .com and before the original extension)

so here is the list which I don’t call a bucket list really…
