My “Duck It” List

I’m sure you’re familiar with the idea of a “bucket list.”

You know, things you want to do before you kick the bucket?

People come up with a list of experiences, places, and activities they want to accomplish before their time here on earth is over.

My dad and I were talking about those lists recently and we thought it’d be interesting to compile a “duck it” list.

Things we’d like to “duck,” dodge, and avoid in our lifetime.

Below are 10 items on my “duck it” list, but I’d like you to participate as well.

Please comment with a few of your very own “duck it” list items.

Without any further ado (what is ado?) here is my list.

Ready, set, duck.

I will avoid…

…Being attacked by a wild animal. This includes but is not limited to: bears, mountain lions, moose, sharks, killer whales, or bunny rabbits.

…The pain of bankruptcy in real life or Monopoly (I may have to quit playing Monopoly).

…Attending a Seattle Sounders FC game… oops I mean match. The whole soccer thing just seems silly to me.

…Cheating on my wife. I have been given an incredible gift, Stacey is better than I deserve.

…Owning a minivan. Considering the current rate at which Stacey and I are reproducing this could prove to be very difficult.

…Getting stuck in my ways. It’s not that I won’t have standards. This is more of a mindset. I always want to be teachable and willing to try new things.

…Nude beaches. They seem like a good idea in theory, but I’m convinced the bad would out weigh (literally) any good that would come from visiting.

…Becoming stingy and selfish. I want to live a life of generosity no matter what the economy is doing.

Now it’s your turn.

What’s on your “Duck It” List?
