LIfe goals...

I was thinking tonight about some of the things I want to do before I die. In no particular order,

• Meet George H.W. Bush
• Watch the sunrise at Cracker Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana with my bride
• Sell a million dollar consulting project
• See U2 live
• Ride the tube in London (Mind the Gap!)
• Rim to Rim to Rim the Grand Canyon
• Finish a marathon
• Get a picture printed in National Geographic Magazine
• Raise a child in the way of the Lord
• House train a puppy
• Try every kind of pie at Pine Country Restaurant in Williams, AZ
• Scream "I'm debt free" on the Dave Ramsey Show
• Play the bagpipes in Ireland
• See the Aurora Lights
• Bag a 14er
• Watch the Texas Aggies win a National Championship
• Paint our kitchen
• Ski a double black diamond
  
• Live in Missoula, Montana ("The world is full of bastards and the number increases rapidly the further one gets from Missoula, Montana" Norman Maclean)
• Learn to play the guitar
• Eat cake and drink punch in a plaid sport coat at my 50th Wedding Anniversary
• Pay for my grandkids to go to college
• Drive a Porsche convertible 90+ mph
  
• Watch the sunsets in Maui (again)
• Never lose my wedding band
• Give a toast

I realize that some of these are easy, like paint our kitchen, and some will be more difficult, like getting Becky to spend the night at Cracker Lake, but they are all attainable. Some are immediate, like meeting Bush 41 (he's getting up there!) and some are very long term (50th Wedding Anniversary), but I want to do them all.
