Bucket List

I was thinking about Bucket lists the other day. a list of things that I want to have accomplished by the time I die. Some things are things that will most likely happen anyway, some things are just random fancies that I would love to do someday. Some are highly unlikely to ever come about, but its my bucket list, and I can dream about it if I want.
I could write a detailed itemized list, but that would just be boring. I figured I might share a few of the things I hope to one day instead. Some I have mentioned before. For instances you have probably guessed that book writing, conference speaking and traveling are the top items on my bucket list. So no need to expound on them.

I have long believed I was born about 65 years too late. I love all things 1930's-40's. I love the old movies from then. I love the fact that the country put hard work at the top of there priority list (now a days it seems that the priority is to make money doing as little as possible) It was a time when people banded together when a nation was at war to help eachother. It was a time when dancing was a great past time, and it was real dancing. Not this disgusting wiggling commonly referred to as "dancing" nowadays. It required talent to dance then. Everyone knew how to  dance. Thats why learning the Charleston is number 7 on my bucket list. To be able to dance it like Ginger Rogers would be my preference. Impossible, I know, but its my bucket list. I can dream it up however I want.
To be able to dance the jitterbug, jive, etc ranks up there with number 7 too. That would be so cool. If you know of any good instructional videos, do let me know of them. You can help me make trusty number 7 a reality.

I've always wanted to live on a farm. One day I hope to live on one. Not large, but to raise pigs, chickens and dairy cows. Of course this wouldn't take place till after I had done my traveling circuit, but its still one thing I'd love to do. I've always wanted to have milk cows. Thats why number 4 on my list is to own a Jersey milk cow named Sybil.

Sometimes I think I need about 4 lifetimes to accomplish everything I want to do. Back to the 1940's, I love the idea of having a Diner with a soda counter. Mixing up cool alcohol-free beverages, serving up ice cream, serving breakfast and lunches. I think I could be a pretty good short-order cook. Item number 9: own a 1940's style soda counter Diner complete with a Juke box that played only popular 1940's songs. I think I would open it up for some Charleston dancing on the weekends. I of course will be able to dance like Ginger Rogers in this fantasy, and would be a wonderful Charleston teacher, and we would have Charleston competitions on a regular basis. I would win them all. Because I'd be able to dance like Ginger Rogers.

I think that that is enough bucket list items for now. Hopefully one day Ill be able to achieve them all. Hopefully I have many years left to accomplish them. Whats your bucket list look like?
