>>>Your list reminds me of an old early 70's TV series called Run For Your Life. It was about a guy who had a fews year to live. So he decides to do everything before his time was up. I think Ben Gazzara starred on the show.

>>And those were just the things off the top of my head. There is a much more extensive one, but who needs to hear all that? Don't get me wrong, it's not like I wake up every day going, "Whoa! What exciting things can I do today?!" It's not like that, and that's also where people get messed-up. We still have to take care of our obligations and responsibilities, especially as we grow older, but it's the frame of mind that you are open to new things that gives you a chance to have unique experiences.

>My wife promised me I can retire on my 56th birthday. Then I can do whatever I want, like finally play Pebble Beach. After that I probably wouldn't know what to do with myself... go play Augusta I guess. :)

If you can get in to play Augusta, then you should be able to retire now! Pebble Beach, Sawgrass and Bay Hill are on the top of my list to play someday. Maybe Pinehurst #2 also, but I've walked it before and just wasn't that impressive to me. I would like to play a good desert course too.
