I've always wanted to get a RV and follow my favorite football team around (don't laugh...the Oakland Raiders) for a whole 16 game season. I'm a pretty big baseball fan, but don't think I would have it in me to watch all 162 games in a season.

Just like the song says, "Live Like You Were Dying" Make sure my wife and kids were as set as they could be and throw caution to the wind.

II wouldn't say I've check every block on my bucket list, but I've checked enough of them, that at that point I would stop focusing on what I want to do and focus on how I can help others.

I couldn't truthfully answer that until I was faced with that situation. I'd like to think I could go out with dignity and grace but I'm not sure what the reality might be.
