Not my list, but...

I saw this list on my friend's blog (thanks MB) and thought what an interesting commentary on our lives the list makes. It's not my list, and there are some things on it that I don't really have an interest in doing. Perhaps when school is out (190 days!), I'll take the time to make my own list of "100 Things I want to do". As I read this list I'm amazed both at the wonderful opportunities I've been given and at the long list of things I still want to do (some on which aren't on the list). The items in purple are those I've already done.
