Bucket List

A good friend of mine, Rachel M. over at Facebook (we met six years ago in Malibu when I worked there, I was on patrol and she was in a hot tub) posted her bucket list.

Initially, it struck me as funny that a person as young as she is should have a "bucket list". Her reply to my comment about that was, "I'm 32. That's not too young!" My response was, "I'd gladly trade you!"

Still, her bucket list she posted was interesting and she challenged her friends to copy and paste the same list, but with their answers.

I did so for fun. It appears that I have a few more things to do.
