There is a fairly new movie out called The Bucket List starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I haven't seen it yet but I've heard it is pretty good. The premise is that the two men are in a cancer clinic and only have a short time to live. They leave the hospital and set out to do all the things they've always wanted to do before they "kick the bucket". I thought it might be fun to make my own bucket list and invite all of you to do the same. These are the top five things I would like to do if I found out I only had one year to live. No surpirses here, there is something involving the Yankees on the list.
- Return to my birthplace (Honolulu) and visit some of the places my parents often talk about.
- Learn to drive a stick shift. (Yeah, I know)
- Attend the Masters at Augusta National in Georgia. A few days after the tournament, play Augusta and walk in the same footsteps as some of the greatest to ever play.
- Go to a game at Yankees Stadium (I've never been). Before the game, I would like to hang on the field during batting practice and throw a few pitches to my favorites: A-Rod, Jeter, Posada and Johnny Damon.
- Live everyday like my last. Tell every member of my family how much I love them and show my gratitude towards them daily.
Ok, that's my short list. I'd love to hear bucket lists from all of you!

Seriously? A stick shift? I am rolling! I had to learn how to DRIVE in a stick shift!
When you learn can I watch?
Amen, Blackeyedsue. I had to learn to drive a mini van with a stick shift. How humiliating!
About wanting to hear everyone's lists: I really am thinking about this one. I will do a post on it when I narrow it down. Really...only 5 things? That is tough!
blackeyedsue---yeah sure you can watch. I'll be selling tickets to the big event and donating all the proceeds to the Paella Foundation. It is a for-profit organization to help the world make better paella.
bilary---That would be humiliating. I've never even seen a mini-van equipped with a stick shift.
