My Grandfather always told me life is like a football game. Four quarters. Age 1-25 is the first quarter; 25-50 the second quarter; 50-75 the third quarter and 75-on is then the 4th quarter. With possible overtime.
After my last birthday, I have arrived at the end of the second quarter. Next year I will start the third quarter. Time is speeding by. So I started thinking about what I want to do for the third and fourth quarters. I want to do new things I haven't done before so the list will be long as I've spent my entire life either in school or working.
So I'm going to start now, making a third quarter list. I want my third quarter to be different and exciting.

I love that list!
I am assuming that this list is a real list, not a dream list.
If I were to make a list it would need to be a dream list, because I’m getting painfully close to the third quarter… Five years down the road. And my life from here on out is pretty much set in many ways.
As Steve Martin said in the movie Parenthood"…"My whole life is ‘have to’".
But I certainly have a lot in mind for a "dream" list. And a lot of them are the same as what you have listed.

My F*** It List isn't as good as her list.
I think I'll have to revamp mine lol.
Whatsright, it's never to late to make a dream a reality.

Add to my list -
I want to visit Iceland and get in those steamy waters,
I want to go back for a long visit to Safety Harbor, Florida - where the Fountain of Youth is located too.
I was there once for a conference but didn't get to really enjoy it because I was working.
Not sure I can get all of this done for the beginning on the third quarter! Especially with Covid.

That’s a great list, I went through a mid-life crisis a few years ago, I had to make changes, we made radical changes to our life that some of our family probably judge. We are debt free and live below our means.
Part of my list:
I want to hop a freight train.
I want to get my pilots license

Tanner, getting a pilot's license sounds great. I'm not brave enough for that.
I've been looking at photos about my hair style. My daughter is right, haven't changed my style in years. I cut my own hair - never have been satisfied with the way salons do it. I might buy a couple of wigs so I can see how other styles would look on me. My hair grows super fast so even if I got it cut short, it would grow back quickly.
