The latest Nicholson flick, The Bucket List is a story about two guys diagnosed with terminal cancer who scramble to experience all the things they wanted to do before they “kick the bucket”. It makes you think.

Everyone has their own personal to-do list, but here are a few that are worthy of consideration:

-    Ski the glades
