101 Things in 1001 Days / Bucket Lists

Mo mentioned 101 Things in 1001 Days in the New Years Resolutions thread, which reminded me of my bucket list. We have threads for things we have to do today, things we want to do this year, so why not one for what we want to do in our lives? I dunno if Mo and I are the only ones with a big long list, but if you don't have one, make one! Even if it's not 100+ items, it's good to have a list of life goals I have a list of 100 things I want to do before I die, and I carry it with me at all times. I've completed 12 things so far, and one of my new year resolutions is to reach 20 (I believe it was...). So, what do all of you want to do in the long run?
