I think I am the only one who reads my blog anymore so this is mainly for me.
As I was sitting down to blog my "101 Things I Want To Do" (as is the theme in my family) and after I had just spent the weekend white water rafting in class IV rapids, I realized I have already done some amazing things in my life.

Great list (maybe with the exception of #60)! Dolphins, yes. Great Whites, not for me. Good pics, too! I imagine standing in the middle of Antarctica would feel a little like looking at the stars on a clear night. I'd feel really small. If you ever need someone to tag along on some of those, let me know.
Great list! It would be a life full of adventure and love. Not a bad way to spend your time. Good Luck with accomplishing all your dreams!
40 years and 52 more days!
I know. I know. I stole a few from your list.
Glad to know your new blog address. Great pics. You have done some amazing things! These life lists are fun. I should do one.
