Bucket List

Back in college, my roommate and I, having more than a couple drinks under our belts, had one of those deep discussions about all the things we wanted to do before we die. The list started off small and innocent enough, but now it has grown exponentially.  I think there are about 86 items on my list right now.  I thought I'd share it and give you an idea of what my list entails.
