My Bucket List ...

(Thanks to Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, for a wonderful funny motion picture.)

Before I choke on my final breath, here's what I would like:

1. To see Machu Picchu and Cuzco in Peru.

2. To sail up the Nile on a Felucca and visit Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple.

3. To visit Benares, in India.

4. To revisit Kyoto, Japan and stay overnight in my favorite Zen monastery, sleep freezing on a tatami mat and eat that wholesome cold rice.

5. To finish my historical novel of epic proportions.

6. To outlive all my cats.

7. To not ever have another nicotine fit.

8. To fall in love one more time.

9. To have shed every last hatred, spite and angry thought.

and, here's number 10...

...To know at that moment that it will be my last breath.

I'm not a big fan of Jack Nicholson but that was certainly one of the best movies that I've seen in quite awhile. The characters were well cast.
And as far as YOUR bucket list - if you want any company - CALL ME!!!

Great list Jon. I hope that your bucket list becomes reality. Most of all, I hope that #8 happens for you. There is nothing better than being in love. No better feeling in the world.

Great list. The Alps are calling me - and I will soon be 86. Do you think I can take them? Nena

Most of this wish list is do-able Jon. Go for it.

They all sound so interesting. Gosh, I'd be content with one of them preferably without tall mountains. But YOU GO Jon!

Admirable list. Same goes for me on just about all of them.

#4 - I'd go w/you, but no thanks to freezing on a tatami mat nor eating cold brown rice. Heck, you can do that in Tiffin!

#4---- I'll go with you!

Great list... I just watched that movie the other night and thought of writing my own.
