At our last Lady Colts meeting, we all realized that we will be turning 50 in 2 years. Did you do everything you set out to do since 1978?

MY BUCKET LIST
1. Get an education-DONE-only took 8 years!

2. Get married and have great family: kids, dogs, chinchillas- DONE- (they CAN be great- at times!)

4. Hold positions in PTA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scout den, CCD/church/ChairMom, mother/daughter book club, athletic foundation, DONE AND OVER WITH!

5. GET TO AN EARTH WIND AND FIRE CONCERT! See Ringo Starr at Humphreys.

6. Win something over $1K in Vegas! HA! Viejas, Remote! , okay at the Fair! Dreaming of course, not done.

7. Get on the Price is Right. Does anyone want to make a Crawford trip up there?

8. Find and go to my Great-Great Grandfather's place of birth, somewhere in TEXAS on a reservation?.

9. Catch a Fly ball at an original "baseball" stadium.

10. See all of my kids graduate from MED SCHOOL/GRAD SCHOOL-AND, Not owe any money! Okay-so I know how to dream!

11. Get remarried to my Husband on our 50th wedding anniversary!

I certainly hope I have not done everything on my list, otherwise the next 40 or so years would be pretty dull. Thankfully, I have been able to pretty much go with the flow of life. I have enjoyed a pretty good run with careers, and feel pretty lucky to have found a niche in archaeology where I get to visit some cool settings where we as a people spent some pretty interesting times. Never settled in to the right relationship, but spent some good times with a few special women. Have been lucky to raise a couple of great dogs, and still see the joy of everyday life. I feel pretty lucky to have been raised in San Diego, when schools were the best. I remember a lot of good times at Hardy, Horace Mann, and Crawford. Does anyone remember "Korslavia" from Hardy? How about "the great skateboarding show" in the quad at Crawford? Any found memories of sneaking in to concerts at SDSU? Lots of cool concert memories, starting out with seeing the Beach Boys with Jim Bain in 1976(he as well as many others deserved much more time on the planet), the Talking Heads in Berkley, The Clash in San Francisco, Cris Issak in the early years in Oakland, The Who and Clash in Oakland, Springsteen too, Reggae Fests in Los Angeles, X at The Wiskey in LA, U2 in San Franancisco, The Chilipeppers in Portland, Afro-Celt Sound Systems in Portland, and many more! Anyway, lots of time left for adventures in life! Have a few great ones! DC.
