Insomnia - these are the things that try men's souls ... and keep me up at night

[ashling]

First of all, please click on https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210113908 . I am desperate for affirmation.

Anyway .....

am 65 years old and figure I have 10 maybe 15 years left. I already don't get around without at least a cane and sometimes a walker
or wheelchair. Now before you go thinking that this is some dark morbid thread, I am trying to figure out some of the things I should do with the time I have left. A bucket list, if you will. And if you won't, well that's ok too.

I am not a fully qualified DUer in that I have not donate lately, being that I the wife and I are on disability.
so I cannot to a regular poll, so bear with me ...

1) read the classics (the ones I haven't already read - which is some of them), philosophy. and history

2) Begin a campaign for the oxford comma

3) go skydiving

4) spend my time going to the doctor

5) See the Grand Canyon

6) Dance on Donald Trump's grave

7) Become a regular Abraham Lincoln impersonator / interpreter

8) All of the above - except skydiving- in lieu of which I can dance on Donald Trump's grave again

9) Other .....

1. I use the Oxford comma.

Great thing to have on a bucket list.

2. 5,6,7, plus?

3. Tandem Skydiving

You are clipped to an instructor. You leap together. One of the best moments of my 30s.

4. definitely see the Grand Canyon

I just got round to seeing it in 2016, on a visit to my daughter in AZ Mind you she has lived out there for 10 years and we finally got to the canyon .... It's worth it.

6. +1

Make sure that you have some time. Find a spot away from the crows on the edge. Then just sit back and look, take in everything around you. Let your self "experience" it. Feel the beauty and enormity of it.

It's an almost religious experience.

Then go out the East exit, go to the Historic Trading Post at Cameron, and have a Navaho Taco.

5. all of the above!

7. I like to use lots of commas, necessary or not.

I mock the grammar police.

Yep, read a few classics, mostly because I minored in English, not that any of that stuck. (I was much more obsessed with Evolutionary Biology and computers.)

Haven't been sky diving, but I have been bungee jumping.

I've been a horribly non-compliant patient at times, more times than I care to confess. I don't remember much about maybe half my E.R. visits. (Meds suck. They are expensive too. The alternative is worse.)

I'm Abraham Lincoln's height and weight, so maybe.

Where do you suppose Trump will be buried? Maybe in exile? Should I renew my passport?
