What is on your "Bucket List"?
 
I was speaking to a server in the Brownwood Gator's Dockside and she told me that she and her husband own the Florida Parachute Center in Coleman. For $189 you can take a tandem skydive. I told my wife that meeting "Sam" must be a sign that I should go ahead and do it. She said I must be crazy! I think I am still going to sign up. What is on your "bucket list"?

Antartica, African Safari, Take a month to drive around Australien Outback, New Zealand by road, (saw by cruise).

Bailing out of a perfectly good airplane will never be on my bucket list! LOL.

British Open at St Andrews this past July, Canadian Open this year, US Open next year and then The Masters if I can get tickets. Not a bad life. Everyone needs a "long" Bucket list.

I want to go to a World Series game when the Cubs play and win the Series. Could this be the year?

I did a tandem jump when I hit 50 and loved it.

I plan another jump here

Have you considered a tandem jump instead?

Last time I jumped(about 40 years ago) I was more worried about meeting someone else....

Will you be exiting the plane the usual way?

Cedwards38 02-02-2016 06:22 PM

A European river cruise!

The first thing on my bucket list is to start a bucket list.

Judith Ann 02-02-2016 08:32 PM

To have both of my kids and their families here at the same time. Looks like it might happen in March!

Moving to TV in 2016! Can hardly wait.

Went to the Syracuse fantasy basketball camp this year and got to play against and was coached by some of SU's legends. Did a Scuba dive vacation and got to do 10 dives in the Caymen islands. I try to cross off one or two each year if I can. I don't think I could jump out of an airplane.Maybe I can save up for an African Safari

Retiring 02-03-2016 01:46 AM

To build my retirement home in TV.

rubicon 02-03-2016 05:21 AM

to begin creating my bucket list at the age of 100

salpal 02-03-2016 07:08 AM

To be chased down the street by a jealous woman when I am 99!!!! (Oh and she has to be at least 20 years younger than me) LOL

I hope so, Tom.
I deleted the photo, turned it upside down on my copy, reposted, no help.
It is so beautiful in close up! The first ever I raised in the house because of cold.

She went for the camo of my sofa on her first flight, before I moved her outside.
But the photo...won't upload. :-/

I am so jealous of your trip. I am too out of shape for it. It will be awesome and a trip of a lifetime. Take lots of photos and videos!

Winning the grand slam starting with the green jacket the year I turn 60, thereby setting all records. Oops, that must be on my FANTASY bucket list.
I'd settle for
1) playing St. Andrews
2) seeing the ruins of ancient Egypt (although jumping out of a plane might be safer)
3) Spending a month in Tahiti
4) getting my lobster from Bare

Did you know the climb to sanctuaries can be done on horseback?

tomwed 02-04-2016 11:57 AM

I just want to see the popular cities in Europe. A couple for a second time.
I forgot Alaska. I want to see Alaska with my children. When they are my age I want them to go again and talk about what has changed. I don't know exactly why.
