Dream on brother, I am sure you will add a lot more to that list before your life is over, so just come home and enjoy your kids and grandkids, and plan a visit to your sister or her to you, and relax ! LIfe is good, eat desert first and everything will work out in the end. Love Sis
All right, let's see...I CAN say that I have accomplished #8. (I have pictures if you don't get there. LOL!) As for #23...do you mean at the same time? 'Cause that would be pretty funny to watch. Could I take a video and post it on our blog? :) Love and miss you!
Just a few comments about your list...

#4..Close on this one but good thing there are two doors in every house.
#14... I won't get into this one.
#15..Discovery channel should help you with this and #7,#8,#2
#20..Try eating crow, may not taste as good but you will feel better about yourself.
#22 & #23...buy Guitar Hero...
As far as the girls you need to say you're sorry to, and the one that you wonder if she ever forgot you. You don't see her looking for you for an apology and the other one probaly didn't forget you (how could somebody forget you?) You should at least try to find her. Who knows, she may have that 353 Packard you're looking for.
Of course i will see you this spring sis.
But i will always be a dreamer, i have yet to find four walls that held me too them.
SMAN,
That's some list. Number 6, those five would be some super to talk about. Don't let the dust settle.
Love the list and comments too! Only you could come up with a list that truly captures the essence of who you are in mind, body and soul! Great read…keep ‘em coming!
