    A co-worker has a friend that has this item on his bucket list: swim in the ocean (South or North Carolina based beaches) in every calendar month, not necessarily in a single year. I don't know if I'll do that, but on Saturday, we attened an a fundraiser for the local Special Olympics program that had a 'Polar Bear Plunge'. I did swim in 48 degrees F water, so February is off my list. I understand, relatively speaking, this isn't 'polar' by any means, but it did raise awareness and support. I have gone swimming in the Atlantic off of North Carolina in November. What's on your bucket list? Tim

    Visit all continents at least once. Still two to go, but I'm not sure if I'll make the last one though (Antarctica), the other one is Africa, but that's certainly doable. I swam in glacier water (melt water) twice. So that's off the list already ;P further: * Get my black belt. (Kenpo/Jiu Jitsu) * walk the 100 km "death walk[^]" (subscribed for this year's event) * I will see when I get these two off the list.

      I swam in Cornwall and soon realized why local people wore the wetsuite. :)

      I've been swimming in the Cornish sea in January. That was bracing.

              One of the items on my list is to tour National Parks in the MW USA which I'll be doing at the end of March if everything goes according to plans.

                            I went Jet Skiing Saturday in the Atlantic. At this rate I will have hit the water every month in the last 12 calendar months. Polar, indeed, the water was 82 according to the temp. gauge. Brrr. :) I know what that what your friend is doing is a much bigger challenge and your actual request was for a bucket list but I honestly prefer to just remind people that there are somethings about South Florida that are awesome, some. Also, my "bucket list" isn't entirely legal. I suppose that is why it is a bucket list so I can't post it : )

                                      That's enough for me...

                                      I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

                                          Visit all continents at least once. Still two to go, but I'm not sure if I'll make the last one though (Antarctica), the other one is Africa, but that's certainly doable. I swam in glacier water (melt water) twice. So that's off the list already ;P further: * Get my black belt. (Kenpo/Jiu Jitsu) * walk the 100 km "death walk[^]" (subscribed for this year's event) * I will see when I get these two off the list.
