My Mighty List: 90 Things to Do Before I Die

I came across this blog and started thinking about my own Mighty List. Some of the tasks are what I thought I would want to accomplish when I was younger, which I've done. Most are what I've come up with as I am today and I have yet to accomplish them. But I will.

It's a work in progress...I'm up to 90 so far. 10 more things to come up with that I want to accomplish before I die. Any suggestions?
