I had forgotten about the list for a while, but last night I had a dream in which I died, and that brought my Bucket List to my attention again. I spent a little while today going over my list (which is about a 1.5 years old) and finally making a new one. It's rather extensive, and some of it is pure WANT. I wonder what I'll think of it this time next year...
