My bucket list

This morning Bob Pusateri a.k.a.@SQLBob (blog | twitter) posted his bucket list, and was quickly followed by Brent Ozar (blog | twitter).  If we really think about, I'm sure we all have some semblance of a list of things we'd like to do before we die.  Well, to keep up with the Bobses, here's my list, in no particular order:

  • attend all 4 Grand Slam finals
    I've been to the U.S. Open multiple times, and have visited the grounds at Wimbledon off-season

  • attend a Stanley Cup finals game

  • raise at least one NHL player
    Hopefully combined with the previous bullet

  • visit Capo Rizzuto in Crotone, Italy

  • touch Stonehenge
    I've been, but the boundary was 100 feet away from the stones - totally anticlimactic

  • drive an Aston Martin

  • speak at PASS
    Surely 2011 is my year

  • contribute to another project like SQL Server MVP Deep Dives

  • see a UFO

  • make a difference

How about seeing a UFO while doing donuts in the middle of Stonehenge in your Aston Martin???

Holy crap Adam, you are onto something there. Maybe I can host a webcast during PASS from the Aston Martin while doing donuts in the middle of Stonehenge as a UFO flies overhead.  On NHL Draft Day.
