- from "Auntie Mame" by Patrick Dennis
If you saw the movie "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, then you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, let me explain. A "bucket list" is that mental or written list of experiences you want to have before you "kick the bucket", leave this earthly realm, meet your maker, receive your heavenly reward...you know...die.
What are you dying to do? Is it visiting the Great Pyramids in Egypt, or skydiving out of a perfectly good airplane? Maybe it's something more cerebral like reading the collected works of William Shakespeare or learning to say "hello" in 50 languages. If you are really adventurous you, could do what this woman did. Her bucket list included armed bank robbery. Hey, no judgment.
So let's discuss: What's on your bucket list?
