So last week, I started working on a "bucket list". I have over a 100 things on it. Also, on the list, I have things on it that lead to other list such as, 100 books to read and 100 movies to see. I decided to make these lists because there is so much I want to experience and I don't want to forget what it is. I also made a list of food to eat and restaurants to go to before I die. So here it is, the list. Maybe you could eat some of it, too. Some testicles, sweetbreads, a Big Mac, maybe?
