This one is thought provoking.

Couldn't you start out with something a little lighter?

Like a list of your favorite beverages?

If you could spend time with anyone in the world who would it be and why?

I'll have to give this one some more time.

Vikipedia: "Ponder" , to swim in a pond. "Ponders" , a family or group that swims in a pond. "Pondered" , finished swimming in a pond. " Pondering", sporting competition where one swims in a pond.

Gosh, John, I've accomplished a few of those things on your list. One (being a grandparent) with no effort on my part.
I'd have to think long and hard about my list, but I do know that it would include drinking some of that great Georgia wine that kathyseb is notorious for bringing to WDW.
And I know that once I would like to vacation in Florence, Italy.

I don't see "start an Owner's Locker in Anaheim" on your list.

One of the reasons I finally signed up for Owner's Locker is one of my husbands life goals. He wants to see a shuttle launch. Now that we're down to only 11 left in the program, we have trips planned for Memorial Day weekend, and October 16. We have to skip one in August -- darn those HS and Colleges starting then. After October it's December 4. We have been to Titusville twice, only to have the launch delayed, so we know how tentative these dates can be.

John,

That's one hell of a bucket list.

I had a list. I don't anymore. I think I lost it with a hard drive failure. Really took the pressure off.

Just think John...

if you "Keep my weight below 200 pounds"

then

"Bench press one and a half times my weight" will be easy!

awesome list.

...I may have to put one of these together.....

John, This one should be easy. Unfortunately, your time is spent in the Purple Van or the warehouse.
