Bucket List

If I were born in the era of my great-grandparents, I'd be dead in 10 years. Even though the life expectancy of my era has greatly changed since then (age 45 to 77 years), it doesn't change the fact that someday I will still die.

I recently realized that I am getting old up there in age. It's like it just hit me. I can't hang out with the newly married couple anymore...I have to hang out with people who've been married for more than 10 years and have like 5 kids or something to feel comfortable and have things in common. With this realization, I've thought that it is probably about time that I create a BUCKET LIST.

So here's the START of my spend all of Patrick's hard earned money "Things To Do Before I Die" List:

1. Go to New York and see a Broadway Show
2. Go to London and See Phantom of the Opera
3. Learn to play the piano
4. Go out of the USA and lay on a beach somewhere for a week or two or three
