The List

 A few years ago I made a list of 100 things I wanted to do before I die.  I've done my best to recreate it (and by recreate I mean remember a few and steal the rest from other lists I've seen and then forget half of them).  Of course some things that seemed worthy 10 years ago seem like a waste of a spot now, so some items may have been changed a bit. Comments and  completion dates are added where applicable.  As always, comments are welcome.
