Over the past several years the term “Bucket List” has come into play… And many of you have “Made Bucket Lists” but many years before that a group of men sat down and made the ultimate list… THE DDW LIST (Don’t Die Wonderin’)!!
You may be asking yourself, what’s the difference… Well, a bucket list is something you just want to do before you ‘kick the bucket’ but a DDW list is something you HAVE to do before you die!! I will go out of this life and into the next someday… And when I do I want folks to say: “He Didn’t Die Wonderin’”
Thus, enjoy the on going list and feel free to help me on my journey OR jump in and add some of your own in the comments!!
