There’s only 1 thing on my list:
- discover Eternal Life
Thank you, I’m here all week. 
Geezer, get over to Catalina! Sure, it isn’t much but it’s still fun! The ranchs, the food, the shopping, the historic baseball. It’s a fun little place.
That must be one tough porcupine, to sign on for a twenty minute bout, and still be going strong after almost two years! 
Whatever you choose to do, leave the tour bus.
Where’d you ride camels? I’ve always had a saddle. Interestingly the practical camel saddle made a list of influential world-changing inventions a few years back because of the way it sped the spread of Islam.
That trench thing sounds interesting. But where is it? Who would I go down with? And when? For how long?
The dromedary was at the L.A. Zoo. I took my nephew there when he was little, and we rode on that and an elephant. The dromedary had something like a rug on its back, but I could feel the damn bones moving under me. Sawhorse seemed like a good comparison. The Bactian camel (two humper) was at the side of the road somewhere near Palm Springs when I was nine or ten. The owner had a hand lettered sign that he was offering rides. I just sat between the humps. There may have been a blanket, but I remember it wasn’t comfortable. Horses are better (with saddles, of course).
In 2000 I started keeping my own list, after hearing about the idea on a morning radio show. This was back when I had a personal web site: I still have all of the files, so I looked up my “100 Things I Want to Do Before I Die” journal entry. The idea was that I would keep adding to the list as I thought of things, but I only ever put 25 things on it!
Here’s what I wanted to do before I died when I was 29 (in no particular order):[ul]
[li]Get (and stay) married[/li][li]Live in NYC[/li][li]Spend time in each of the 50 states[/li][li]Do as much traveling abroad as I can[/li][li]Co-write and record at least one song that becomes a classic/standard[/li][li]Get my pilot’s license[/li][li]Drive an Indy car[/li][li]Learn to play the guitar[/li][li]Jump out of a perfectly good airplane[/li][li]Star in a Broadway musical[/li][li]Observe a pack of wild wolves[/li][li]Meet a sitting President of the United States[/li][li]Run for President of the United States (as a write-in candidate)[/li][li]Find the guy who was one of my best friends for two important years of my life, but who I haven’t seen since 1985[/li][li]Learn what really happened to the guy on my POW/MIA bracelet[/li][li]Make a functional piece of furniture[/li][li]Own a home[/li][li]Get a motorcycle and the license to drive it[/li][li]Become fluent in at least one languge besides English[/li][li]Fly first class[/li][li]Drive cross-country[/li][li]Take the train back cross-country[/li][li]Write my initials in wet cement (and not get in trouble for it)[/li][li]Get and be able to use season tickets to the Rangers and/or Yankees[/li][li]Be at the game when New York wins a Stanley Cup and/or World Series[/ul][/li]The motorcycle thing I’m not so interested in anymore, but I still want to do everything else.
Maybe it’s time to think about this again. . .
