Amanda, over at etc has started a list of “100 things to do before you go” and has invited her readers to join in. So I am! She has her list divided into smaller lists of 20, which I also like and am going to shamelessly copy. So here are my first 20:
- Visit Pompeii
- Visit Florence and it’s museums
- Visit Rome
- It wouldn’t be a bad idea to just spend an extended amount of time in Italy. Like several months. Or maybe a year.
- Learn Italian
- Learn to paint in the sumi-e style
- Learn more about Zen (and maybe practice it if it suits me)
- Learn to play guitar
- Learn to play the banjo
- Read all of the Newberry Award winners.
- Learn the art of glass blowing.
- Get paid to be a photographer (travel photography would be ideal)
- Write a damn good poem
- Hike the Appalachian Trail.
- Live at the ocean (again)
- Learn to crochet
- Make a fancy quilt like “Dear Jane“
- canoe down the Little Spokane River
- run a marathon
- be my own boss
Stay tuned for the next 20… In the next few days… Or week…
