I have a bucket list.
Not a list of place I would like to travel to, since the new 5 page application for a passport will not allow me to do that. I have no idea where my moterh lived one year before she married my father. There is no family member alive I could even ask. As for a complete list of all the places I have lived or worked, all my supervisors & the phone numbers——cannot possibly happen. OUR ‘phone number” on the farm growing up was various rings on the crank phone.....I think it was “2 longs and 1 short”. There were 20 people on that particular line.

I do have a list of people I would like to have a nice day & a dinner with.
Mark is on that list. He hits a home run every time he writes something.

LOL - ours was 2 longs and 2 short, and there were almost 20 people on our party line as well. I remember my first year in college, some of us were chatting - I said I remembered when we (on the farm) first got dial phones, and my urban friends said “how old ARE you, anyway?” It was funny.
