With that thought in mind, I decided to create a wish list of experiences. The list was mostly old things that I had said I would like to do &#8220;someday&#8221;. My thought was that I would pick something simple off the list if I didn&#8217;t go anywhere and do that thing for my birthday. The easiest item was to go horseback riding. I&#8217;ve taken a couple of vacations and said that I would like to go horseback riding but didn&#8217;t do it for whatever reason (usually poor planning on my part). Fortunately, I was able to take a short trip for my birthday but decided to still mark one item as complete \u2013 the horseback riding. I can now say that I&#8217;ve experienced riding a horse other than being at the fair with the horse walking around in a tethered circle. It was a raging success because the horse never fell nor did I fall off the horse. I won&#8217;t mention that the horse never galloped&#8230;<\/p>\n<p> <P align=justify><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 14px\" face=arial><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT>Since I can now mark that item complete, I decided to think of other experiences that I&#8217;d like to mark as complete as well. Some are a little more ambitious because I don&#8217;t have a deadline associated with completion. Here are the results:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To experience sunrise and sunset off the New England Atlantic coast during fall with a fall foliage tour in between.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To have a private performance of Moonlight Sonata in a dark room with the actual moonlight streaming through the windows (and\/or candlelight for the pianist). A professional pianist is not required, just someone who can perform the music well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To eat a truffle dish made with actual truffles.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To stand alone on a stage and sing a song to an audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To spend a day on the ocean, far away from land, on a boat of course \u2013 just not a dinghy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 To spend the night outdoors with the one I love, talking and looking at the stars (before I fall asleep).<\/p>\n<p> <P align=justify><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 14px\" face=arial><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT><FONT style=\"FONT-SIZE: 85%\"><\/FONT>Also, one of my accomplishments that I didn&#8217;t realize until a few weeks after the fact is that I&#8217;ve driven from the east coast to the west coast (Miami to Los Angeles). I didn&#8217;t do it at one time but I&#8217;ve done different legs over different periods of time resulting in my cross-country travel. With the exception of the leg from Miami to Atlanta, I&#8217;ve actually driven across the country within the first six months of this year \u2013 alone.
