13 Things I Want to Do Before I Die


Okay, I'd really like to have a little more solid content on here, so I'm going to try to do a more regular List of 13 feature. Here's today's list:

13 Things I Want to Do Before I Die (or Turn 40, Whichever Comes First)

In no particular order

1. Play poker at a casino in Las Vegas
2. Publish a book of poetry (without self-publication)
3. Publish a book not of/on poetry (see above parenthetical remark)
4. Get married (or at least sustain a committed long-term relationship successfully for more than a year)
5. Visit all 50 states (currently have about 35)
6. Earn a graduate degree
7. Sink the 8-ball on the break or run every ball in a game of 8-ball
8. Appear on a late-night talk show
9. Fish for tarpon or similar ocean fish
10. Write a great love poem
11. Learn to play guitar
12. Create a game (board, card, dice, roleplaying, hybrid, etc.)
13. Contribute something newsworthy to a liberal social or political cause

Comments:
You've already created a board game if you recall. Don't tell me you've forgotten about "Gang War."

Nice list though. I've managed to sink the 8 ball on the break once, the rest is virgin territory for me as well.
 
Wait, I played Pai Gow Poker in Vegas, does that count?
 
Well, I think it would need to have its own board rather than just stealing an existing (and not especially appropriate) one. We also created that Wild West game using the Clue board.

Hmm, I wouldn't count Pai Gow Poker for myself.
 
cool list, Steve. The relationship lasting longer than a year made me chuckle - not because I'm laughing at you, but because I can relate.
 
Steve, I've played a lot of poker at casinos in Las Vegas and I highly recommend it.
