Your "Things-to-do-Before-I-Die" List

[PhilaYank36]

In a somewhat particular order

• Get married to an amazing woman and have three kids, including a left-handed, switch-hitting son
• Cut my body-fat down to 8% (probably is around 12% now) and maintain a muscular 190-200 lbs body
• Pray & meditate more often (get to church more often, too)
• Learn Muay Thai or some martial art
• Get a pet dog, preferably a soft-coated Wheaton terrier!
• Travel cross-country by train with my dad
• Build a room-sized O-gauge train layout, preferably with my dad
• Visit Jerusalem & visit where Christ was crucified (hopefully without the fear of getting blown to Heaven)
• Buy my own home, customize it, and be able to leave it to one of my children

Why do you want your son to switch hit? Not that there's anything wrong with that....

2. Bike from the Pacific to the Atlantic
3. Bike Italy with my son
