Before you die, what would you like to do? And what advice would you pass on?

<p>Be in the audience for NSM’s Broadway debut!</p>

<p>I can now amend this:</p>

<p>[ul][li]sit in my new backyard swing when the weather is pleasant without being eaten by mosquitoes again and again and again and again![/ul][/li] What was I waiting for? I should have gotten the thing years ago!!</p>

<p>busyparent, it’ll be sold out, and I’ll see you there!</p>

<p>MAMMALL:“I want to spend a month in the summer on a northern lake with my family and canoe every day and build fires every night and have no tv and no clocks.”</p>

<p>QUANTMECH: “See the aurora borealis.”</p>

<p>I got to do the canoe trip (although without my family)…where I saw the aurora borealis… when I was in high school. Not intending to make Mammall or Quantmech feel bad…but it makes me realize once again, how very lucky and fortunate I was then.</p>

<p>Go sailing
have time, health and energy to play with any grandchildren my children may provide
have a home that my children will always want to come to</p>

<p>family is a gift, enjoy unwrapping it, however frustrating it may be and always be there for each other…love unconditionally!</p>

<p>Seeing the aurora borealis in Alaska thirty years ago is perhaps the most amazing natural phenomenon I’ve ever seen. I would love to see it again.</p>

<p>I would like to travel- to go to Africa with my daughter- to go to the UK, to even go to the east coast- the farthest I have been was to Mo, when I was 3, although I did go for a few days to Santa Barbara by myself this spring. :)</p>

<p>I would also like to finish college- which has been something I have been working on for a while.</p>

<p>What I would like to pass on is- Get up. Don’t be afraid to fail or make a mistake. take a chance & if you fall down, get up again. That’s what band- aids are for.
( but no- I really don’t want to snowboard, but go ahead :wink: )</p>

<p>You all have such adventurous souls . . . I just want for all our family (siblings, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, etc.) to be together for a while and be happy and laugh and not argue and not get insecure. We can never seem to pull off a family reunion. It’s become my obsession.</p>

<p>Family reunions: I really miss them, too.</p>

<p>I would like to see the Lipizzans in Austria perform. I’d like ride an Arabian horse in Morroco. An Andalusian in Spain. And ride in Ireland. And on a beach somewhere.</p>

<p>I would like to learn to make a documentary and make one.</p>

<p>I want to write a book that people would find worthwhile.</p>

<p>I would like to work in the third-world.</p>

<p>I would really really like to know what to do with all of these digital pictures I’ve taken - how to store them, organize them, print them…wait, that was my 2008 New Year’s resolution.</p>

<p>Next March we are doing a once in a lifetime family thing: Hiking down and up the Grand Canyon. I’m in no where near good enough shape yet, but we always said we’d do it during son’s last spring break at home. I HOPE I get up to the top before I die!!!</p>
