Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are
wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

A drop in the bucket

Found this post in the Draft section (written about two and a half years ago) and thought I'd publish it ...

Dunno why, but lately I've been thinking about what my "bucket list" would look like ... to which (in no particular order):

  1. Visit the White House
  2. Go to the United Kingdom (Ireland and England in particular)
  3. See the Grand Canyon in person
  4. Set foot in every state
  5. Drive a supercar (first choice: a Bugatti Veyron)
  6. Buy a near-mint or mint condition 1977 Luke Skywalker action figure in its original backboard packaging (it's a "buying-back-a-piece-of-my-childhood" kinda thing)
  7. Visit the Jack Daniel's distillery UPDATE: DONE!
  8. Play a round on a PGA golf course
  9. Attend a game at every MLB park (I've got Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Anaheim covered)
  10. Go to the ComicCon in San Diego, CA.
  11. Meet Berkeley Breathed
  12. See a playoff game of a professional team (NE Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins or Celtics) in person
  13. Attend the taping of a live TV show
  14. Take Joey to Disneyworld
  15. Visit the Smithsonian
  16. Read a biography (or autobiography) of every American president
  17. Buy or build a house on Martha's Vineyard
