Otherwise known as my bucket list! I was trying to to tell a friend what I had left to complete and I couldn't remember for the life of me! So here it is. All 100+ items including the ones I have crossed off. I put a short description of how/when they happened in parenthesis. Looking back on it, I'm very pleased with what I have accomplished so far.
