Maggie's Farm

Is this contrived, or is it a good idea? A list of the 100 things I want to do before I get too old or die (without impossible fantasies like conducting the New York Symphony, or having some beers with Bob Dylan, or hunting grouse with PJ O'Rourke, or owning a pied a terre in Manhattan, or owning my own G IV, or spending the night with Sharon Stone).

I do have a list of the 7 places I wish to visit or re-visit, next: Scotland for grouse shooting and whiskey tasting, Turkey, Alaska for ptarmigan hunting and to see the tundra, Wales, Sicily, Tuscany, Patagonia for fishing.

But a life-time To-Do list? Probably a good idea for someone like me. If it's not on my list, I never get to it. 

So I will add this to my To-Do list: "Make a lifetime To-Do list."

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

Image: Yes, that is Sharon. Meant to do an image of a Red Grouse, but liked this better.
