The Rest of My Life

Well, The creation of this list has been a long time coming, but I finally sat down and put it together. I hope that this list will continue to grow and that I'll at least make it through half of the items within my lifetime. I'm also hoping that Dan will also begin a list and together we'll force each other to actually do some of the things on the list. I tried to make the list with the idea that I would not add any items that I was sure I was going to do, such as Graduate University in Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Also, things that I wanted to do in my lifetime and that I've already completed were left off the list.

Without further ado, The list of things to do before I die:
