In the course of my life I have walked on the Great Wall of China, climbed down into an ancient Greek tomb, seen a lion cub nursery with the sun rising over the shoulder of Kilimanjaro, sat with baby seals, and done a thousand other fascinating things. (I feel like Roy Batty at the end of Bladerunner, talking like this.) I've visited about forty countries on five continents. I've set foot in all fifty U.S. states. I've eaten fabulous meals, loved glorious women, written books and stories that stirred at least a few people, spent long nights talking with close friends, and just of late, edged ever closer to the face of death while still drawing breath.
The things I still wish I could do? i.e., my bucket list? A few personal experiences I don't care to detail here. Some small things I likely won't be able to do: see all three movies of The Hobbit. Some large things I likely won't be able to do: watch
So, yeah. Not so much with the bucket list, simply because I've been filling my bucket all my life. If anything, my bucket list is to keep on living. I've been lucky and beyond lucky. Even now, not-so-slowly dying, most days I still remember my luck and privilege, and am grateful for them.
I have seen the world, after all, and it is us.
