Second Chances and Bucket Lists

We are all passionate movie buffs in my house.Extreme.Love movies.Love movies but are generally too lazy to go out to the theaters and watch them .Primarily because that entails changing out of pajamas and various states of dishabille...So as in all movies...Bucket List left a very very strong impression. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson being hubby dear's favorite. I made my bucket list when I saw the movie.Unfortunately, I'm not even close to completing it.Some stuff is personal , some of it needs to be aired.
1. Take a course to learn how to Do fondant work.
I have made cakes and I have made cakes and some I covered with fondant. I am autodidact , but I want to formally learn before it is too late for me to learn. I have done many, but these are for two of my favorite people...my son and my niece...

happy birthday sanskriti

happy birthday Upamanyu

These are a few of my favorite things, but I want to learn to make bigger and better cakes. Before it is too late. I have not been able to attend any course because they just dont happen in the places I lived in, but now that I am about to shift base, hope blooms eternal.I will learn and then would also like to use and share those skills .
2. Drive an SUV in a car rally.
My dad taught me how to drive as a way of making me independent. I have been driving through city streets and highways some, but have never had the pleasure of driving a big,powerful,mean machine without having to worry about scratching its paint or bending its fender.I want to do that.I want to drive recklessly,fearlessly and fast...No this is not a road rage thing,it just is.
3. Go to Alaska and see the Aurora Borealis.This has been  fascination for a long time...the magical northern lights and the Eskimo and the caribou... not Big Bear type desires, but I would love to trek the way Chris Mccandless did- Movies again-"Into the wild".This is a movie about how a man gives up everything to experience the wilderness of Alaska and live off the land. He dies before he can accomplish what he set out to do. I have no intention of dying there, but I would like to be there for a while and experience the wild open land, the cold and the wilderness and the freedom.

This is just scratching the surface. There are so many things I'd like to do. I'd like to watch the sun set near the ocean, I'd like to do a balloon ride, horse back riding in the open plains,bunjee jumping ,cook for someone famous, win a big,big prize, spend a whole lot of money, feed a whole lot of kids, read ...
Life may not give us too many chance...but every day it gives us one more. That is called Tomorrow.
Optimism is a great buddy...it opens the door that just wont budge.
So carpe diem would be a better sign off here. (Seize the day!)
CarpeDiem!!
