**It’s interesting to note that a bucket list differs greatly from a to-do list. I notice that some things on this list created several years ago, are achieved, and yet not necessarily noteworthy adventures. Specifically, “Renovate the kitchen and dining room” was a long sought-after goal that was achieved, but not necessarily a lifetime fulfilling experience, like say, “See a play at the Globe Theatre.”
