Bucket Lists

According to the Merrimam-Webster Online Dictionary (under New Words and Slang) the term "Bucket List" is described as:
bucket list (noun) : A list of tasks to complete before one dies, or "kicks the bucket.".

The term was popularized in the movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
We all have one (whether we write it down or not) - the things we'd like to do in this life. So here is mine. Please note that I have included stuff that I have already accomplished. The stuff I have yet to accomplish is subject to change in the future. I also have marked the items that I have already done as well by striking them out in red. :-)
