My Current Incomplete and Troubled Bucket List

While revisiting my writing projects pipeline, I found this unfinished blog post. It’s a bucket list. It was inspired by Manton Reece’s Revisiting 43 Things blog post. Recent comments in italic.

  1. Rent a country house for the whole summer, outside Canada — I would have been in the US, but this plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
  2. Get my house renovated — Completed!
  3. Do another trip with my two sons — TBD.
  4. Return to California to see the new Apple headquarters — This plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
  5. Visit Chicago — This plan is on hold, because of Trump’s America.
  6. See the launch of a rocket from Space X — Fuck Elon Musk.
  7. Return to Iceland — Most probable.

Given the current political environment, I must carefully reconsider each item on this list and remove the ones that will not happen.
