    Brody's Mum,

    It was back in the 80's and I was on duty as an Auxiliary State Trooper. I was covering I-95 South. We got a call there was a "suspicious" black stretch limo parked behind the McDonalds on I-95 near West Haven.

    I pulled up and didn't see a driver. I knocked on the back window (pitch black windows I might add). When it rolled down, my jaw dropped. There were those gorgeous blue eyes looking at me. He said that his driver had to make a pit stop (to tinkle) and he was waiting for him. I will never forget it!!!! My best friend said, "Why the HECK didn't you ask for his autograph???" I told her it wouldn't look very professional. But, those eyes!!! *sigh*

    That's the scroop. I hope I age as well as he is. Joanne Woodward is one very lucky woman. Imagine waking up to him every morning.

    * I would do a cruise in Northern Europe : Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ruusia (St.Petersburg)
    * I would visit some great old friends I haven't seen in 23 years (St.Louis, Missourri)
    * I would hire a small plane and fly over the Great Canyon. I have only seen it from the South Ridge
    * I would learn a 5th language (Spanish), and maybe a 6th one (Swedish or Rusian or Chinese)
    * Make thousands of 3D-cards and open a craft shop
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge

    It's interesting reading everyone's list. Anyone want to visit Colorado AND learn to play the piano? Come on out for a visit!

    Here's my list in no particular order:

    Do more traveling abroad
    Live abroad
    Taking riding lessons and own a horse
    Own a house (hopefully this will be a reality in about 30 days!)
    Finish my master's degree and get a Ph D or Ed D
    Have or adopt 1 or 2 children
    Learn something about carpentry (nothing too fancy, I would just like to be good at some projects I could do at home)
    Learn to be more patient

    Lori,

    BELIEVE me you will be in tears. Both Nicholson and Freeman deserve an award for their performances. Let me know what you think when you see it.

    Here's my "bucket List" (1) Make another trip to visit Moosmom. (2) Take a hot air balloon ride (I'm not afraid of heights). (3) Visit New Zealand and meet Carole. (4) Visit Alaska. (5) make another trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls (this time to stay longer and go on the Maid of the Mist) and see the rest of the attractions. I'll have to think of some more!

    I am not a big "movie person", but I have wanted to see The Bucket List ever since the first preview I watched. I'll probably wait until it comes out on dvd, though. :]

    My "Bucket list":
    -Move somewhere with real snow.
    -Build my own house. I have already got the blueprints all made out. :]
    -See Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert.
    -Open up a small rescue, specializing in senior dogs.
    -Learn how to play the accordion.
    -Go bungee jumping.
    -Visit Italy & Germany.
    -Keep my 1996 Jeep up and running.
    -Find a career that I would actually love to wake up to each morning.
    -Be able to live life out the rest of my life without drinking alcohol, doing drugs, nor smoking in any way.

    I bought a book last Fall, titled 500 Things To Do BEFORE You Kick the Bucket!

    Some of them are out of my reach, like climbing Mt. Everest.

    Some are quite easy to do.

    I was thrilled to discover I'd already done 157 of them!

    The travel stuff is all on hold, what with my Dad and 15 pets, just not possible for now.

    I was looking through some pictures I had taken during my years in Europe and longed for a return to places that I had already been. I would love to return to the Interlaken & Grindelwald region of Switzerland and ride every railroad connecting that part of the world. It has got to be the most beautiful area I have ever been. I would like to go downunder and see a part of the world that I haven't seen. There is just so much that I will never have time or resources to see. George Bernard Shaw had it right when he said , "youth to wasted on the young".

    I don't have a list. What is up with that? I have always been the type of person to be content with what I have.

    I have always wanted to go to Hawaii though.
