You’ve no doubt seen the ads. Floating to-do lists being checked by drivers of luxury looking utility vans. It’s a romantic idea. A life list. Not your run-of-the-mill-need-milk-and-toilet-paper regular to-do list. I haven’t worked on one so far, but I am thinking about it. The idea struck me while we were driving through obscure farm country. The road cut through mountains cut at the edge of the road and the formations were “decorated” with graffiti. Now the eco-freaks are probably shunning this idea, and while I agree it’s not the most attractive idea, it made me think … damn, I’d like, once, to do something like that. Just bring a spray can and write something idiotic like “Suki was here”.
But this got me thinking … I need to work on a life list. Something more important, obviously, than some nameless scribble in the middle of some untraveled road. And nothing as kitchy as “Skydiving”. Besides, I’ll wait until my kids are all grown up before I carelessly throw my life out of a moving plane.
So my first item to go on this life list is something I have been wanting to do forever. It’s probably going to be a while before this item gets checked, but it will have priority over all the other ones.
- Purchase and run a farm.
You heard me.
