Friday the 13th bucket list

OK, there seem to be a lot of these lists floating around lately. This one apparently started after the release of the "Bucket List" movie. You're supposed to put an "X" next to the items you've already done. They don't say anything about the items you haven't done . . . and, frankly there are more than a couple that yours truly would scratch off the list completely. Anyway, ye socks, here goes nothing . . .
