Okay, so I'm not getting rid of the "Everlasting Bucket List," though I'm sure that's how the title makes this sound. I have, however, been neglecting it and am getting myself re-amped.
Let's begin with a little housekeeping...
1) I can now recognizably play "Moon River," "Not in Nottingham," and a number of miscellaneous Christmas carols on the harmonica. At the moment, I only play for family and close friends. And by close I mean those in near enough proximity to overhear me practicing when I think I'm alone. However, since I'm well on my way to professional status, I'm going to go ahead and replace "Play the Harmonica" on the list.
2) I have, in the last few months, had at least 3 massages. Legit massages. Perks of working at a physical therapy clinic... I have good connections! I fully intend to make this a regular part of my adult life. It's absolutely essential to survival. Let me know if you need a reference!
So, I need new goals! Here are my two best ideas...
1) Until today, I had not seen any part of any Rocky movie. (I know. It's a crime.) As a self-proclaimed underdog-loving sports movie junkie, I'm a little ashamed of that fact. I just watched the last 20 minutes of Rocky IV (which I've heard is the best one) and am now determined to watch them all. Even the awful ones. "Play the Harmonica" with now be replaced with "Watch all 6 Rocky movies." Then maybe I'll rank them in order of favorite.
2) Learn braille. Okay... just the alphabet. Brilliant, right? Granted, I rarely see braille anywhere without unintentionally reading the words above it first, and typically it would be easier to feel the actual letters with my fingers to read it... I'm doing this. It's happening.
Wish me luck!
