A number of years ago I started a bucket list. And here I am looking at that list and rethinking it. Bucket lists are things that you work towards. Here's where I stand:
1. Take an exercise class with Richard Simmons
No longer in biz
A dear friend did this once and I was so impressed. But she's dainty and I'm a big fat hog and I don't want to hurt camels. I will strike this off the list.
3.
Passed away. But perhaps I would like to sit in with Ross Mihara? Developing.
4. Write a book
I had a *specific* book I was writing, but downsizing makes me want to prioritize other things.
5.
This turned into wanting citizenship. I tried so hard, spent so much money, hired an expert to assist, but was ultimately rejected by Ireland due to inconsistencies in the facts on paper. Thanks, Irish Grandfather. I can still try to pursue the original goal.
6. Play Carnegie Hall or Royal Albert Hall
Why did I want this to happen?
7. Be a balloon wrangler in the Thanksgiving Day Parade
If an opportunity comes up in the future, I will ask.
8. Volunteer in the Bishop Museum archives
This hasn't happened yet, and I'm not working on it, either. But I am transcribing Freedmen's Bureau records and that feels very satisfying.
9. Have our Hawaiian band sponsor a match in a sumo tournament in Japan
Too expensive. Band not together.
10. Play music at a retirement home
Done.
Done.
11. Learn to tie knots (as added in 2015)
I will give up on this because I clearly don't want to do it.

12. Sing the National Anthem at a baseball game
Done.
Done.
13. Perform in a pantomime horse costume
I still want this.
