I think most people have a list, somewhere in the back of their mind, of things they would like to do, or accomplish, or just try for fun while they’re here on earth. I haven’t made a formal list, but there are some of mine:
When I was younger I REALLY wanted to try skydiving. Now that I’m more “seasoned”, I’m not sure I could do it.
I’d still love to watch the whales migrating (is that the right word?), but I wouldn’t be able to bring the dogs. 
Sing backup for Tina Turner.
STOP LAUGHING - it could happen!
I’d like to try some whitewater kayaking in a little short yak. Nothing crazy like the hard core nuts . . .
. . . just a little current to make it a bit more interesting.
I’ve always wanted to learn to play the bass guitar. (I had an acoustic 6 string when I was in my teens). A really hard driving bass and a great drummer MAKES the whole band.
Parasailing would be a blast.
I’ve also wanted to learn how to shoot a handgun, which brings me to my current post.
I have some friends that all have their own guns and shoot on a semi-regular basis. They have plenty of guns to go around, so one day big R (the husband) and I tagged along with them to the shooting range. It was kind of exciting watching the people shooting ahead of us. Some of the guns had quite a kick to them, and some not so much. The noise level was incredible, and we weren’t even in the range yet. No wonder you need ear gear.
But when it was actually my turn, I found it strangely intimidating and just . . . icky. I can’t tell you what kind of guns I shot - I think there were 3 different kinds. I remember being told that if I pulled the trigger once and nothing happened, NOT to pull it again or the gun could blow up in my face. Gee, and I found that intimidating? Hmmmm. Even reloading the gun made me feel creepy and kind of shaky inside. I don’t know what caused it, but I guess it doesn’t matter. I was very surprised though, because I thought I would really like it. Ah - no.
I’m glad I went, and tried it like a big girl, but that’s one that I can cross off my list. Don’t care if I ever try it again, and I probably won’t.
I guess I’ll just have to focus on Tina.
STOP LAUGHING!!!! I MEAN IT!!!
