I wanted to post this list earlier than now. I am on the backside of a stint of pneumonia. So, I hope the list makes sense.

  1. Write a book (God’s Ink)
  2. Go to Tibet
  3. Take a long, cross country vacation with Jen and the boys (like mom took when she was a girl)
  4. Swim with a whale shark
  5. Dive the Galapagos
  6. Catch a monster marlin
  7. Run a 5K in under 24 minutes again
  8. Have a personal, executive coach
  9. Meet Bono
  10. Fly in a dog fight
  11. Spend the night at the White Swan, do that thing we do there and hang out with Dr. Lamb, again
  12. Own a house overlooking Palancar Reef
  13. Drive a tricked out Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
  14. Have a picture published (preferably an underwater photograph)
  15. Help all of our boys find their purpose and their wives (same thing, right?)
  16. Hold my great, great grandchildren and whisper blessing in their ears
  17. Grow very old with my wife and chase her in my hover ’round.
  18. Succeed my father, stand on his shoulders and lead this amazing church (when it’s time)
  19. Have more patience, peace and determination to not give up. No matter how hard life gets.
  20. Finish strong.

So, if you haven’t told us yet, why not take a few minutes to let us know what’s on your list?
