Joe Walsh is now following me - I can die now!
I’m listless.
My bucket list is short. It is to find a cure for my dry, winter skin.
But I digress....
I have a couple of buckets but they’re filled with used softballs for batting practice.......
Tell you what Brother.
It was not on any bucket list but I loved living in Cochise Co
She’s no Lewis Grizzard or Art Buchwald, but has a good sense of humor.
A Bucket List usually refers to things we want to do or places we want to see before we die.
A Wish List typically itemizes stuff we want to accumulate while we are still kicking.
Pinging this one to all lists, even though it's unrelated, because we need a little recreation time! Thanks SandRat.

I did all of them. I also went to The London Dungeon, looking for a gift shop so I could buy my son a Jack the Ripper t-shirt. Of course you had to go through the Dungeon feature to reach the gift shop, and after all that, they didn't have any. Afterwards, I walked across Tower Bridge back toward Tower Hill to wait for the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour to start. I took a boat ride along the Thames from Westminster Bridge down to Tower Bridge and back again. Walked to Buckingham Palace on my first Sunday there, and observed a military parade, and wreath laying ceremony at the Guards Memorial across from the Horse Guards Parade Army Barracks. Got to view No. 10 Downing Street through the gate, and walked along the London Embankment.
I went back to London in August of 2007. Didn't really have a bucket list as a long-time friend went with me. She'd never been there before so we went to the Tower of London, Hampton Court, British Museum, toured Buckingham Palace, The National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square, and Bletchley Park. Also toured Sir John Soane's Museum, and The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. We also went to Temple Church, but unfortunately it was closed, and enclosed in scaffolding. We took an overnighter to Paris. I'd been there the year before, but again, she'd never been there, so we went to The Louvre when we got there, then that evening took an evening tour of the city and boat ride on the Seine. The next day we went back to The Louvre, and in the hours before heading back to London, we toured the Chateau Vincennes in Paris.
I'll never be able to get back to London, or any other place in this lifetime, so I'll have to be happy with the memories I have of my times overseas.
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
The people who eat peppermint and puff it in your face,
They never would be missed — they never would be missed!
Then the idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone,
All centuries but this, and every country but his own;
I’ve got ‘em on the list — I’ve got ‘em on the list;
And they’ll none of ‘em be missed — they’ll none of ‘em be missed.
(Thank you to Gilbert and Sullivan)
Yah, but your eyes would glaze over. I love animated movies and anime series, and write critiques, a la Leonard Maltin. Don’t get me started...
