Things I Want to Do Before I Die

I’m not getting any younger.   I know that I only have a few years to live.  If I think about it, I might be in mid-life already.  This made me think about the things that I want to do but haven’t done so.  There are so many of them.

With this in mind, I decided to write here my list of Things I want to Do Before I Die.  I guess, I can go back to this entry every now and then to check my progress.
