My Life List

I don’t know how many there are on the list – 50ish?.  I don’t know how I’ll make them happen.  Seemed like a fun exercise one night to see how many things I could name.  Might need some tweaking.  A few things seemed like a good idea at the time but now are kinda “meh”.

Here they are in no particular order except the first one :)
