The List


The other night the movie The Bucket List came on the movie channel. I saw at the theatres when it first came out a couple years ago as I am a big Jack Nicholson fan and I also like Morgan Freeman. If you haven't seen the movie its about 2 guys who both find out they have terminal cancer and both create a list of things they always wanted to do. They then proceed to do them all. I enjoyed it even more the second time around. The acting is superb.

We all go sailing through life,graduating from school, getting married , having kids,working. You know what its like. Life flies by. It seems to go faster as you get older. That's what it was like for these two guys until they realized that time wasn't something they had a lot of left.

Why not create a list when you are younger and healthy? Then set about doing some of the things you have always wanted to do. Makes more sense doesn't it.

So here are a few things on My List
1. Watch a ballgame at Fenway Park
2. Take a Caribbean cruise
3. Play in a World Series Of Poker event in Las Vegas
4. Watch my son (the poker playing one) play in a WSOP event.
5. See a Broadway show in New York City.
6. Drink a beer in an English pub (yes beer isn't in my new diet but 1 won't hurt)

These are just a few but you get the idea. Most of mine involve travelling somewhere and experiencing something different but they don't need to be expensive.
They can be anything.

So what are yours??

  3. I only ever watched one ball game live in my life and that was at Fenway Park. Don't relish the thought of a cruise, but 2 weeks in Bermuda was lovely. The WSOP? Love watching it, but I'm a cash player.Saw plenty of Broadway shows and, yeah, got drunk at many English pubs. I think I might be leading your life.

    And now? I'd like to win a $17 million Mega Jackpot, then I'll make my list. Only problem - I NEVER play slots. Darn, I knew there was a catch. Let me think...
