things you want to do before you die

[pax]

*Well, just walked on a glacier, which was amazing.

*There are a few celebrities I'd like to meet, but probably never will. I would particularly like to meet comedian/journalist/interviewer Andrew Denton.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Denton.
He is an extremely intelligent , funny man; and a very gifted interviewer who manages to get the best out of his subjects because his research is so thorough. He did an interview with Jennifer Lees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanne_Lees
and at a rare lighter part of the interview he mentioned her boyfriend's obsession with taking photos of buildings and Cranes. "You read my Book"!"' Smiling "I did" She had not mentioned it anywhere else, and no other interviewer had bothered to research to that degree.

* I'd like to get some more short stories (and poems) published.
* I'd like to paint more, and get better at it!
* I'd like to be respected as a person and not treated like a curious novelty or something beneath them.
*Have friends that last.
*Hike and camp out more.
*I would love to see the aurora/s
*I'd like to have a house where I don't have to deal with hoons and drunks going past, where the air is fresher.
*Win lotto, so I can quit my job where I'm treated like a curious novelty or something beneath them;hike, camp, see the auroras, get a house away from the rat race, paint, write, and have Andrew over for a barbie!

Oh, THAT question, the "bucket list" question. Yeah, you all will hate my answer, everyone always does but here it is.

The only reason to hate your answer would be envy, a very destructive emotional response. It is far more healthy to feel joy for your success and achievement just as it is also right to feel compassion for another's suffering.

1. Get to a standard of programming that I feel comfortable showing my code to professionals.

3. Get a job title which is clearly differentiable from accountant or salesman.

5. Settle in a house somewhere in Germany.
6. Find an incredible German friend who releases me from my worries over incorrect grammar which hamper my German speaking, and meet up regularly.
7. Give regular concerts from said house, on piano.
8. Manage to learn violin to an amateur extent so that I enjoy it without any of the depression and pondering which piano has brought to me.
9. Make peace with not being a composer or improviser.
10. Hire an ice rink for a party.
