Friday OT #1 - Bucket List

[Angie]

I'm aware that this name isn't very creative, but the topic also really isn't. With war going on overseas, it sort of puts your own mortality in perspective (or it doesn't, whatever is fine and no commentary either way).

What items are on your bucket list? Is there a certain performer you want to see in concert? Learn to play the banjo? Build a certain item with your own two hands? Fly a helicopter?

I sat here and tried to think of what I feel like I need to do that is under my own control. I think traveling to England is as close to it as I have left - I'm about 88% UK heritage, and a teeny bit of an anglophile. There are items I'd love to do (have grandkids, watch my children succeed in their careers, etc.) that I can't have any control over, so I feel like maybe those don't count.

What are yours?

Big 12 Wrestling tournament. Sadly, I’m not going this weekend. I told little JM we will try to go David Carr’s senior year.

 

[GMackey32]

I want to backpack across Europe. My heritage is Scottish (the MacKay clan still has a castle there!) and German and my wife's is German. Would love to start in Ireland and work our way East, stopping in major cities and historical places.

1. Skydiving
2. Going to Rome
3. Skiing the Alps
4. Attend ISU in a BCS bowl or final four (kind of dependent on team performance)
5. Visit as many presidential libraries, memorials, or museums as I can.

 

[Gonzo]

Hiking the Camino de Santiago alone.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Excluding Antarctica, I'd love to travel to every continent. Hell, I'd travel to Antarctica too if the opportunity presented itself, but it's not a must.

I also want to publish a book, learn guitar and learn Mandarin. All take free time, which is not something I have in abundance right now.

 

[CoachHines3]

Attend The Masters and not just practice rounds.

There's all sorts of places I'd like to backpack/camp, etc but it seems like everyone else is going to those places which kind of defeats the point.

Maybe paddle/camp in the Canadian wilderness or something.

 

[JP4CY]

Attend The Masters and not just practice rounds.

I'd like to do that with my dad.

Have you been to the Ryder cup?

 

[JP4CY]

Retire early with a second home. Ideally in TN. We enjoy lakes and boating.

Have you been to the Ryder cup?

Nope, that would be another. Last year when it was in Wisconsin my buddy went and had a blast

1. Skydiving
2. Going to Rome

I've done the first once and the second twice. They are both worth it!!

I will say - I loved, loved, loved skydiving when I was a 22 year old with nothing tying me down. It would be infinitely harder to do it as a parent now. It is so, SO rare anything happens - but the day we happened to go, the person who went in front of us didn't have their main chute open, and they had to use the backup chute. So it confirmed for me that it DOES happen.

See the Cyclones win national championships. Travel to all sorts of places with my wife...maybe the kids , fly as many different planes as I possible can, get all the endorsements/ratings I can even if I never use them.

It's unreal. Not even a big golf guy, fell into some tickets when it was at Hazeltine and I could not have had more fun. It's like a college football crowd at a golfing event. Craziness.

It looks awesome. It's probably an easier event to attend as well. Compared to the Masters.

Like a happy Gilmore crowd?

What, you don't like your annual Masters tickets rejection email?

 

[CoachHines3]

look forward to it. At least I know my name is on the list.. I think!

Not far from it.
