Bucket List

Who has not thought about what they want to do before they die?  Some want to do the crazy, others the impossible, while most just want to put down into words all the things they have been meaning to get to but never quite have.  Pondering on this, I felt the need to put down some of my own things I have been meaning to get to, to make my own bucket list.  While this list is by no means all inclusive, I think these 75 public goals are a pretty good start.  And yes, there are 25 other goals that I will not share with the general public.
