Recently, I was reading an article on people who makes list of things they want to accomplish before they die. My list follows. At the same time, I have created another list of great life experiences. This list will take more thought and will grow. I don’t want to add things just because they sound fun. Items should qualify for inclusion by being genuine life goals.
Things to do
- start and run my own business
- visit all 7 continents
- have a long term relationship of more than 5 years (preferably one that lasted the rest of our lives)
- write a single check for $10,000 (or more) to a charity of my choice
- meet a sitting head of state
- be completely debt free (including not having a mortgage)
Things to own
- a Rolls Royce
- a hot tub
- a work of art that I am totally in love with
- a .40 or .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun
Things to learn
- Spanish
- enough about wine to be able to distinguish different types of wines and the flavor and aroma components
- how to write better
- how to be a proficient shooter with the handgun mentioned above

Michael –
What an incredibly cool idea for a page!
I’ll be interested to return regularly to see what things have been checked off and what have been added.
A couple of the goals we share are the debt free (I’ve got about 5 years left) and the handgun. In fact, I almost got a .40 a couple of months ago.
Keep me in the loop on the progress on that one. Maybe we can do a handgun class together or, at a minimum, hit the range now and then.
Thanks again for the great idea and for sharing your dreams with us!
