Bucket List 2010

After taking time to look back at 2009, I feel compelled to consider the future as well.  I haven't updated the bucket list since last May--this seems like a good time to look at it again.  Here's what I've got:
  • Adopt a child.  I may not be the greatest parent in the world, but God knows I try and that's more than what a lot of kids get. 
  • Buy or build a house (for me) with an indoor pool
  • Convert the PT Cruiser into an electric vehicle
  • Pee on the continental divide
  • Pilot an airplane
  • Ride my bike to Belgium
  • Skydive
  • Successfully pull off a caper.
  • Take a honeymoon in the Virgin Islands. Oh, the irony.
  • Trick someone into taking me to a five-star restaurant.
  • Visit (or return to) these fine places (or, if I have already, one more time): Australia, Canada, Columbia, England, Fiji, Norway, and every state in the United States.  While I am touring the U.S., I want to be sure to see Disneyland, Disney World, the Grand Canyon, Jackson Hole, Las Vegas, Metropolis, Illinois, San Diego Zoo, Wayne's Drive-In, and Yellowstone National Park.
  • Whitewater Rafting - At any class, but at some point at least Class 4!
  • Write the book (or two?)
These items were on the list, but now I'm not so sure:
  • Buy a place in Muskegon, Michigan
  • Make out with Keira Knightley
Completed:
  • Run ten miles. This is a horrible goal. I do not recommend it.
  • Visiting Illinois & Wisconsin.
That's not a lot.  I'd better get crackin.

By the way, if you think I should visit your town, be sure to drop me a line and tell me why! (Also, let me know if I can sleep on your couch!)

(It's not a whole lot different than the last Bucket List.)

For obvious reasons, you need to visit the Houston area. And yes, you may sleep on my couch.

Metropolis, Illinois = Superman statue

That's all.
