To Do List
Life is short or so “they” say and with this said I composed a quick list of things I’d like to complete before I die.
All too often we set our goals extremely high and then we hope to conquer them in a short amount of time. Neither of these are a bad thing. Below are a list of things I would like to accomplish before I die. Most are humorous and quite attainable which leaves very little room to set myself up for failure.
1. Become a parent and a grandparent
Seems easy enough but unless I begin soon, the snooze button on my biological clock will stop working.
2. Swing from a trapeze
In a fancy leotard of course. I’ve never wanted to join the circus but swinging through the air with the greatest of ease has a magical chime to it.
3. Yell “Fire” in a very crowded room
Strictly for shock factor.
4. Start an urban legend via chain email
Why not? “Don’t eat the yogurt parfait at McDonald’s. My mother’s sister’s hairdresser ate one, and she grew facial hair that was so thick it couldn’t be shaved off with a regular razor”. “If you don’t pass this on in 3 seconds to 46 people, then you will be plagued for one with year with bad hair days.”
5. Visit New York
New York in my imagination is one of the most perfect cities in the US - busy, loud and unified.
6. Not look like a tourist when I visit New York
I’ll wear chic black, very expensive, very uncomfortable shoes and learn to hail a cab like a professional.
7. Be a better friend, neighbor, daughter, lover – person
This may prove to be the hardest of them all. If it were so easy, then it wouldn’t be on my “to do before I die” list.

I’ve got only one ‘To Do’ on my list, and that’s me yelling aloud, “Yippee! I won the lottery jackpot!” Huh, I wish …
This read is very good as it has some humor and just fun things to aspire to. Wonderful writing. Michael
being a born/raised NYer, i’m certain it will be very hard for you NOT to look like a tourist! how can you come to The Big Apple and not look up all the time! as long as you don’t stop pedestrian traffic, you’ll be ok
Great! I like to believe we all have our to do list.
well done!Written with lots of joy, fun and spirit.
Once again very random. A very humorous and enjoyable read.
Funny, good stuff*
Blessings.
