    This is a great post! I noticed a few things I’d like to do on your list as well. I feel inspired to create a list and put it into existence. Thanks for the motivation and letting us ‘regular people’ (lol) see a glimpse of what you want to accomplish. ;)

    I’d be more than glad to help you with items 6, 8, and 9 (you need to provide the vest). 16 is never going to happen under your own power. In regards to 17, in the park, or over the fence? I’ve done 20 and 21, they are fun and I highly recommend them. You’d probably get 26 in pink. Oh, 49, yeah, you are invited every year. You can kick off 53 by paying me the money you already owe me. I can teach you 72, its fun. If your Dad can do it, you can do it. Good list though. I hope you can do each and every one.

    Interesting list. I’m always fascinated by the different things people have done, as well as those that people want to do. I’ve done a good third of the things on your list (my time in the Canadian military helped…); want to do another third; and have no interest in the final third. I’ll have to find the time to make my own list.

    PS. You’re in the process of crossing item 33 off the list already!

    I’m down with #20 anytime you want to go.

    I’ve tried to put together a list like this, but I can’t get past about item 20 or so without feeling like a good chunk of the items won’t be relevant to me in a decade or two or five – or at least not make the top 100 list.
