    I can't believe it took TWO hours for someone to make that joke ... albeit a bad one.

    See an NHL game in every Canadian city with a franchise (right now I'm at zero)
    Write a song and record it
    Take a year off -- while I'm still young -- and see every state in the U.S. by car (except Hawaii, I'll gladly fly)
    Wind up in a city I'd really like to NEVER move from after I get there
    Dance with my goddaughter at her wedding. She was born in January.
    Meet a woman who understands me and vice versa and wants to grow old together -- minus kids.

    2. Bike from the Pacific to the Atlantic
    3. Bike Italy with my son
     
  9. write a book
    drive cross country
    cross those final few baseball stadiums off my must see list
    raise my soon to be born child
    live in a fortified compound in a remote area and live out my final years in hermitage

    Well Dan, my best friend is a weekend sports anchor at a station in Oregon. He's actually from out here in Massachusetts and flies back this way a few times a year. Maybe he can get a discount on multiple tickets and you'll be able to scratch that New England trip off your list.
