Last night Mrs. GrandmasterB and I watched The Bucket List with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. I had been wanting to watch it for awhile now, because I’ve been a big fan of both actors for a long time. Perhaps my favorite Morgan Freeman movie ever is The Shawshank Redemption. I don’t think I could pick out a favorite Nicholson movie, but if I had to I’d lean towards The Shining.

Anyhow, if you haven’t seen the movie yet both characters are terminally ill with cancer and write a list of things they want to do before kicking the bucket…The Bucket List. It got me thinking (which is always a dangerous thing); what would I want to do before I “kick the bucket”. Of course, if you’re younger you don’t think about it very much or you think of silly things. So what would GrandmasterB do? It’s hard to say really. I have always wanted to go shark diving off the coast of South Africa, see Machu Picchu and maybe travel to Thailand.

But what meaningful, fullfilling things would I want to do? Honestly, I don’t know what I would do or could do that would be meaningful or bring joy to other people. I’m sure as time goes by and I grow older and wiser I will find something worthwhile to add to my “bucket list”, only time will tell for sure. So…what would y’all want to do before you “kick the bucket”? What’s is one thing that you want to do in your life?
