I don’t refer to it as my bucket list, but I do have a list of things I have always wanted to try. The thing about this list, however, is that it doesn’t seem to get any shorter. I’ll check one thing off and replace it with another.

I made a call, wrote a cheque and spent the next five months of Wednesdays at the local curling club. And you know what? Curling is definitely not as easy as it looks on TV. There’s a fair amount of physical activity involved. And when you come down to it, it’s really about the strategy.
