I guess now that we have seriously spent some years planning for our future and that of our child - from tax planning to health management to education it is time to start an official compilation of things to do before -
1. I and my spouse kick our respective buckets (need to research this reference to the dowdy container before the kicking occurs)
2. Europe collapses into civil war,
3. United States is morally and financially bankrupt and owned by China - entirely,
4. Australia once again becomes an island where they send all your lepers, cancers, with all the aids needed to expire,
5. India stops exporting and importing or doing pretty much anything because there are so many people there that no one can physically move to do anything, short of pushing people over the border to Pakistan which by all accounts has imploded a few years prior due to a similar situation (reminds of a poignant ad campaign back in the day when they showed few tomatoes being squished in too small a bottle being capped),
6. An errant asteroid finally does knock this rock out of its complacent orbit
To that end (pun intended) the list shall include -
1. Sky dive (from available air craft with parachute preferably unless this is the last thing on the list for some reason)
2. Climb Machu Pichu (no desire to climb Everest or Kilimanjaro - its out there and quite expensive - got to do more with less after all)
3. Have ourselves a clam bake and Indian chef cooking to order at the same time; ideally on a secluded beach in Hawaii - different strokes ..
4. Travel to Ulan Batar (not sure what we do once we get there but it seems like we need to come face to face with this civilization that produced Genghis and made us memorize the name (as errant kids in India) of this capital city when 99% of the world did not even know what Mongolia was)
5. Visit Scotland during the three days that the sun shines (hoping for advanced tools from Google to forecast these days) and go on a scotch tasting tour,
6. Continue to add to list if we continue surviving - the right thing to do since this is a living document (much like a living trust with a will)...
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
