  1. Hello,

    I read through your list. I have a question about #23 -- spending a whole day at the library. My question is, does that event include a bag lunch that you bring from home, or will lunch be puchased at a local restaurant or drive-though?

  2. What a fabulous birthday present. I will be 41 on January 15, 2016. I would like a list too. You can start working on it now. Or just recycle items from you list to your dad. Please leave out #45: do push-ups together.

  3. I liked the list as well and read all of the way to the end. I noticed that David did not offer to do bathroom cleaning duty. But he was available for everything else.
