It will really give you some perspective. . . . save a girl from great peril. . . . save a baby from great peril. . . . come through for someone when they don’t except you to. . . . listen to Johnny Cash and if you like rap listen to Immoral Technique. ---

Bottle feed a kitten. Watch the sun come up from a sleeping bag on the shore of Oahu. Do the “happy dance” in a Cracker Barrell parking lot because the goalie who decided to go for baseball tryouts on our player’s head got a 5 game suspension. Watch from ice level seats as your hockey team wins the Championship. ---

Gallop a horse on the beach. Attend a really big sporting event. Catch a foul ball at a major league game (haven’t done this one yet). Fall so totally in love you can’t think straight. Sob uncontrollably over the loss of a pet. Take a vacation on your own. For women: wear a really hot dress to a party. And, yeah, wait tables or work retail! ---

Be the person at the party able to converse with a deaf person in sign language and make them feel a little less left-out. ---

Spend an afternoon in Monet’s garden Experience Mardi Gras in Mamou, Louisiana Eat maple fudge in October on the back porch of the Smiling Cow overlooking the harbor in Camden, Maine. Sit under a blossoming cherry tree when the wind is high and the chimes of Notre Dame Catherdral are calling the Parisians to mass. Choosing a place where this is perfectly legal, of course, smoke a lot of weed and walk around inside the music of _Dark Side of the Moon._ Make a sharp right and look up when you get to “Great Gig in the Sky.” Spend time alone at Walden Pond. Spend Christmas in a foreign land. Do something you’re afraid to do. Leave the tour bus. ---
