My own Bucket List

There is the great movie called the Bucket List.  Two men,  deemed to be terminally ill, make a list of all the things they want to do before they die.  I thought it was a going to be a horribly sad movie, but it was simply the best!  The humor was wonderful, the acting so good…the story even better.  We should all have a Bucket List and we shouldn’t wait until we are ready to die, but while we are sill able to move without walkers and breathe without a machine. 

I have had list for years.  I have gotten several off my list.  I always wanted to see Colorado and the Rocky Mountains.  I still want to see Paris, but hey, I got time.  Next  was to kayak.  I have a fear of water and not really crazy about boats and waves, but I love to row.  As a kid, I would get in a row boat and go all day.  I loved it.  It is quiet and I find it so peaceful. 

With help from two good friends, Darrell and Jan Yount, I wiped that one off my list!  Friday, Jan called my bluff and invited me to face my water demons and go kayaking.  She enticed me with a BBQ afterwards at their house.  How could I turn it down? 

Mike stayed on shore.  Earlier in the day, he got a joke sent from an old co worker.  It started out…”John answered the door and there was the police.  There was a kayaking accident with your wife…”  No kidding, timing is everything. 

Here is the proof that I did get in, I did row about Freshwater bay and I did survive.   I am ready to go again.  It was wonderful.

Are you sure about this?
