Before I Die, I want to:

[mic]

So, I had the pleasure of working until almost 7:00 yesterday, and was listening to the TED radio hour on a local NPR station for my 45 minute trip home.  For those of you who don't know TED is a non-profit group that selects interesting and/or important stories, helps the story tellers with there presentations, and they then set up a function for them to tell the stories.  Check out TED on YouTube (my favorite is Mike Rowe's story about working harder can be better then smarter).  Anyway, this was a story about an artist that painted an abandon building in her neighborhood with chalk board paint.  She wrote "Before I die, I want to:" and left a bucket of chalk.  She was amazed to find out if filled up the space in short order.  It has grown to other cities.  So on this virtual blackboard -

Before I die, I want to:

Teach grand children (a long way away) to fish.

And find some other sucker to pay for all those weddings.

Also, catch a 6 pound smallmouth in an Ozark stream!

[Jerry Rapp]

figure out a way world peace can be accomplished, cure cancer and all other health issues that make us die before natural causes, and find a better way to catch fish than the Ned.

I want to throw my cell phone away and spend the last two weeks of May floating, fishing and camping from Trappist Abbey to Tecumseh with my wife. Then hop onto my bass boat at Tecumseh and spend all summer fishing every cove, every bank, and every bit of shoreline Lake Norfork has to offer.  I'll stay in the small local resorts along the lake and my family can visit on the weekends.  Finally in September I'll reach the dam and conclude my trip. All while we are both still healthy.
