Do You Need A List?

By Robert Snowden

I’m continually amazed by things that the human race keeps coming up with. Sometimes I find it hard to keep up with society. These days it’s common place to hear someone make the comment, “Well I can check that off my Bucket List!” Somewhere along the line I’ve gotten out of step with the rest of society, because I don’t even have a Bucket List. When I started writing this View I knew that a Bucket List was things that you felt you must do before you die. (Like jumping out of a plane before you’re 80) I couldn’t resist. I had to Google “Bucket List.” It was there that I found that the term Bucket List is derived from the saying “kicking the bucket”. I guess that makes sense things people want to do before they die.
