Thanks for your photos of some of your bucket list stops! When I saw the photo of you looking down to the valley, I instantly thought of Switzerland. I did that hike to the top of the Grosse Mythen - it was a little challenging! But what a great view! Along the way we say a Swiss family, and the dad was carrying a 2 year old on his shoulders - that seemed pretty crazy, but he was young and confident! Another hike like that is to the top of Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. The photos make it look so exciting and challenging, and it is, but really the path is at least 8 feet wide in the narrowest of places.
What I liked about the idea of a bucket list between friends, is that it is less about achieving the list, and more about spending time with a good friend.
Nice article, Doug. Some good advice I received from a friend years ago: Make a bucket list and limit it to five things. Place it in your wallet and share it with no one, not even your spouse. You’ll find that you won’t work on the list; the list will work on you.” I did, and it did!
Great to share some conversation with you today at LJ's. Thanks for the article.
My brother Dave, the etymologist, has these thoughts on the origins of "bucket list": https://www.wordorigins.org/big-list-entries/kick-the-bucket-bucket-list
