Bucket List

So I've been thinking about my life, well, lack thereof actually. I feel like I'm in a big 'ol rut, and you know what they say, "The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth"

SO..... I'm revisiting my bucket list. I've had one for a few years now and have only crossed a few paltry items off of it. Well, that's going to change. My goal is to cross off one item per month this year, and aside from some of the more crazy/costly items ( diving the great barrier reef, own a horse ranch) it seems pretty darn attainable if I stick to it. I'm writing my list here (as always, subject to change) and will check back in monthly to talk about the ones I've been able to cross off.
