John Canzano recently wrote a piece about cardiologist Jeffrey Werner, who when finding,out that he was dying of lung cancer wrote up a list of things he wanted to do before he died then began to cross off as many as he could. If you haven't rea, d it, take a look, it one of the better things I have read in awhile and stands out as one of John's Finest.

I made a list much like Werner's while I was in college, and fortunately for me there wasn't any life threating illness behind my list, just something I did in my spare time. I have been fortunate enough to check some of them off but there is still many a task left to do and I thought I would share with you the BRE faithful some of my list.

Things I have  already accomplished

• Roam the Scottish Highlands in a kilt
• Play a game in the NFL
• Host a sports talk show
• Marry a beautiful woman ( didn't think this one was gonna happen but managed to pull it off)
• Hit a homer out of a major league stadium
• Name my first born son Yzerman
• Meet John Popper of Blues Traveler and catch a harmonica
• Swim with dolphins

Things yet to be crossed off my list

• Tee up a bucket of golf balls from home plate at Yankee Stadium with my 5 Iron
• See a game in every MLB park
• Eat my weight in Godfathers Pizza
• Visit all 50 states
• Grow a righteous set of sideburns
• Learn a foreign language and never speak it
• Be in a major motion picture
• climb a mountain
• wrestle a gator
• write a book
• stalk a celebrity

What are some of yours?
