You are never too old for that. I use to race with guys that were in their 70s. Unless you are blind, you can still do it....often!

hmm... this is a good topic, and someone mentioned this to me before, but i haven't really thought about it yet.

1. Road trip across the US
2. Travel/ backpack across Europe (Germany, Spain, Greece, more of Italy, more of England and France, Portugal, Netherlands, Scotland, you get the idea)
3. Race car driving school (LOL Leslie Anne, you aren't the only one!!)
4. Drive on the Autobahn
5. Get Master's
6. Get Ph.D.
7. Get married (i'd like to, but I have no prospects as of yet...)
8. have babies AND adopt and/or be a foster mom
9. Meet Ani Difranco... her music changed my life (I'd like to meet other people of course, but she's definitely number 1)
10. Be a professor
11. Have enough money to pay my bills in the same month (low goal, but sadly it's needed right now)
12. be able to help my friends/family financially
13. Take ballet classes again
14. See Bob Dylan in concert (see a lot more ppl in concert actually)
15. Go to Mardi Gras (hopefully New Orleans will return to it's glory once again)
16. Restore my sorority house to it's full beauty (it's pretty beat up...)
17. I would love to expand my sorority to another campus so it's regional.

'Tis true. I mainly did club racing (won a national title in 1997), but I did a couple of open-wheeled classes at Mid Ohio. I sold my car 4 years ago , but am still a big enthusiast.

I was going to get into SCCA, but unless you have a lot of sponsors and loads of vacation time at work, it can be very expensive. I had a blast doing it and met some great people.

Maybe to being able to attend some funerals for people who do not desearve it!

What a trip that would be!

You want to attend people's funerals who don't deserve to have them?

You're an idiot.

Go drink some scotch and stand in traffic.

That's too cool! My dad and brother both raced cars so I grew up around it. I blame my need for speed on the fact that my brother taught me how to drive. I wish I had paid closer attention to what was going on because I don't even know what kind of cars they raced or anything.

What kind of car did you have? I'm totally fascinated!

Reading all of these posts makes me realize what a fabulously rich life I already have! I've done a lot of things already mentioned on the Bucket Lists of some of y'all. Of course, I have dreams that haven't been realized yet...those would be:

1) To act (in tv, theater, movies... whatever paid the bills). I'm most happy when I'm on stage.

2) To go on an archaeological dig. I love history, and searching for ancient items of the past would be awesome, IMO.

3) To live in London. I love, love, love London.

4) To maybe run for a political office. Politics is the second secular love of my life.

5) To ride in a hot-air balloon.
