I've been thinking about this lately and want to put one together and wondered if anyone else had one also. For anyone who doesn't know what a Bucket List is, it's a list of things you would like to do before you die.

I have only come up with a few things so far.

1) Run through the tunnel in Notre Dame stadium (I finally found out how to do that by running in a marathon that ends by running throught the tunnel)

2) Visit the ancient wonders (Pyramids, Stone Henge, Great Wall of China, ect...)

3) Meet and actually talk to a President, any President.

and the list goes on and I am still trying to figure out more things I would enjoy.

Just thought I would see if anyone one else had a list.

That race is called Sunburst, and you don't only to have to run, but they have a 10k, 5k, etc and a family walk. You missed it this year, they usually run it the first week of June.

I do have a bucket list. I've actually accomplished 2/3 of your bucket list, I ran in Sunburst and came through the tunnel, and I've talked to Barack Obama.

I want to attend the US Open, Super Bowl, USC v ND game, I want to go to Amsterdam and try one of their "cafes", I want to try Absinthe, and I want to visit Australia.

I already did #3 on your list twice. Once with President Clinton and once with President Obama. I want to touch the PLACT sign so bad.

1) Live.
2) Live a little longer.
3) And a little longer.
4) And a little longer...
5) Have a maple bar with Golden Tate.
6) Beat Rocket Ismail in a footrace. I figure when he's 70, I'd have a slight advantage. Who am I kidding? Rocket will probably run a 4.6 at age 70.
7) Golf with Ty Willingham.
8) Follow a Congresswoman on Twitter and cause a scandal.
9) Make a single with Ark Music Factory.
10) Sumo wrestle with LenDale White.

I tried Absinthe while in Germany for a stay over before heading to our next destination. It was the last time I was going to be able to drink for 5 months, so I had to take advantage. I really don't prefer the taste, but it sure does do the job.

I've added a couple, I want to open a Boys and Girls Club, or something similiar. Don't know why but I have always wanted to do that.

I want to go to the Vatican, and see Windsor Castle.

Spend a day or possibly a week, barring time, with the Monks in India.

1. Complete my Tom Swift, Sr. book collection.

2. See all of my children back in full communion with the Church.

3. Live long enough to see my grandaughter graduate from college.

4. Go back to Tybee Island, GA, several more times, finally for good, to take over the job of the old campground host riding around on that little golf cart.

5. Die in my sleep, before my wife dies. I don't think I could live without her.

IrishinFL, the cheapest/easiest way I can think of to make that happen is by attending the ND coaches clinic in the spring. If you have a interest in football you really don't have to be a coach to attend. They do locker room tours, you can walk the steps, touch the sign, have pictures with it...really a neat experience that I recommend 110%. Much cheaper than the fantasy camp where I'm sure you'd get access also.

I have alot of the same things that some of you have. One that I have on my list that I haven't seen here yet is to see a cheetah run full speed in the wild... I think that would be awsome... To see an animal run 70+ mph....

That would be pretty cool, but you might want to observe that from a helicopter or a very fast vehicle. 70+ mph is pretty fast especially when the thing that is doing it could rip you to shreds.

Well.... I guess that is true.. LOL. Never thought about that part of it.. Maybe one of those safari jeeps will be suffecient protection!
