To add something I forgot: I've seen the Rose Bowl from the last row in that mammoth stadium and the Holiday Bowl (2x) from the sidelines. The Iowa cheerleaders were awesome!

I got one of my bucket lists done last November when I went to Spain to watch Lou, and Karlie, play for Avenida. I love small towns and small older arenas and the fan base. The spirit of this small town has for it's only real sports team is just tremendous.

Let me know if you are going next season!

Let me know if you are going next season!

The Sisters won't be back, so I doubt it. However, if they do show up somewhere I have no problem going. Being retired gives me tons of flexibility.

Not big on attending contests, though have not forgotten a 1953 World Series fame at Ebbets Field. Carl Erskine set a World Series record, striking out 14 Yankees, and Roy Campanella hit a game winning home run that landed not far from me in the left field stands. My list would involve playing certain golf courses while I'm still able. Have played Pine Valley,Wing Foot, Baltusrol, and Dornoch in Scotland, but would love to play St. Andrew's, and The Country Club,right here in Massachusetts. Oh, and would love to play a round with Tom Watson. Maybe I'll write him a letter.

Realistic bucket-list item: attend the Big East WBB tourney

Not realistic: complete a nitrogen-man* triathlon (shoulders may never allow me to swim half a mile)

Out of the question: an Ironman triathlon

*nitrogen is 1/4 the atomic number of iron; a nitrogen man is a 1/4 ironman

' (shoulders may never allow me to swim half a mile)'

seriously holmes, examine and think hard on platelet replacement therapy.
sound logic with positive results starting to flood researchland.

and on this bucket list thing, i have an older pal, a yuge beagle and husky grad, whose done a lot of live big sport events viewing (seems like all of them -secretariat, chambliss home run, super bowls, boxing, u name it, he was there and still is to this day), and now he is on to 'world travel bucket list things.'
told me a few months back that the monday night game for the girls at Bridgeport was the single best sporting event memory for he and his wife ever. pretty cool.

personally, i have no bucket list anything. im quite content to just wake up tomorrow morning, cuz, you know, breakfast awaits! and, iffn there's some spectacular overseas thing that i haven't hit, well, i'll just utube it, and enjoy the experience from my couch. im done with all things travel for places not here at home in the good ol USA. here? plenty cool left to see and do. i hear that there is giant ball of twine or aluminum foil out in the midwest somewhere. roadtrip!
