Bucket List

This might be the number one blog subject but I have to weigh in. Have you heard of the Bucket List? You know, it's that list of the things you'd love to do before you kick the bucket. I started a list about three years ago - and you know what? - SEVEN of my to-dos came true! I started with 100 on my list - how many do you have?

Here is part of my list (in no particular order):

1. Have lunch with Oprah
2. Have dinner with Jon Stewart
3. See the musical WICKED
4. Drink a glass of champagne atop the Eiffel Tower
5. Take Dad and Joyce to Wimbledon - all expenses paid
6. Be the Commencement speaker at Peace College
7. learn to speak French fluently
8. visit the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy
9. Body surf at Nai Harn each in Thailand
10. Skinny dip at midnight in Fiji
11. Sail around Australia and New Zealand
12. Snorkel the Great Barrier reef
13. Write a novel
14. Visit the Louvre
15. Take a guitar lesson from Trey Anastasio
16. Attend the Academy Awards
17. Help someone else achieve one of their 100 dreams
18. Own a convertible
19. Spend a week in the South of France

It's Parker! I'm testing Picasa and it will let you blog from the program.
This was from Thanksgiving - at the Aquarium.

Year of the Pig

Until February 7 - it's still the Year of the Pig - so how appropriate that I found this pot-bellied porker down the street! I rolled down my window and started talking to him - and he started wagging his tail!

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2008. What are your resolutions?
