Bucket List – 45 before 45?
By this point we all know what a bucket list is. Many have made one, and I got to thinking this would be fun. On that note, I’m not sure I can come up with 100 things to do before I die – plus that seems so (hopefully) far away at this point. I thought I’d try to narrow it down to 45 things to do before I turn 45. With a bit over 10 years before I hit that marker, I hope nothing is too ambitious!
