OK, Partly Steve Jobs, partly other reasons but

If you knew your life could be at an end soon, and you were fit enough to enjoy and rich enough to finance, what would you like to do before you die.

With me it's see the northern lights, visit the Mayan temples, and fly over the Nazcar lines.

To take a train journey across America

If money were tighter it would be to walk or cycle around the Isle of Wight or just visit Cornwall, something I've never done.

Visit all the places in London I meant to (museums and such) I never got around to despite living on the outskirts for many years (because then there was always tomorrow......)

are the Nazcar lines where they hold the Nazcar races?

[rockyracoon]

I think it'd take me so long to think of all the things I'd want to do, I dead before I finished thinking. The Northern Lights are at the top though.

[MarkRae]

Yes they are.

The Nazca lines, though, are quite different...

[Postdog]

Ok I spelt it wrong

(i) spend time with my daughters

(ii) travel - Southern Patagonia, Alaska and Antartica being on my list - time in Italy and New Zealnad as well.

You can come down here, Postdog! We'll let you in.

I can't go fifty yards at the moment!

there was actually a similar thread yesterday

I'm not sure I have an answer, though. I'd like to visit Lhasa, but I doubt I'm fit enough for the altitude. Apart from that, I've done most of the things I wanted and been most of the places I fancied.

I never saw yesterday - posting this was just something that came to mind this was just something that occurred to me today following his death, but it has been something I've thought about a bit.

postdog, what's the latest with you, are you in hospital soon?

[Postdog]

Pre op next week so it should be soon after. Apparently little chance I'll die from it but far higher odds on being left blind or it causing a stroke. It's the latter which is worrying me more. I can't do much at the moment but at least I can see and have my faculties.

[DTCwordfan]

Ouch, postdog, so what are we talking about?

We have had our differences here, but there is no way I would ever bring those into the equation when health and/or family issues are invilved and I know that you have had your fair share of difficulties.

Sorry to hear that about the imminent op but the probablility is loaded in your favour I bet, anyway all luck - and you will have Mamya and all the gals to look after you and cheer you up post-op!

[Mamyalynne]

Hi Postdog, I hope and pray your operation goes without incident, they are duty bound to tell you the worst and best it is essential you get it done though. DTC is quite right all ministering will be swiftly and gently dealt with.

As for my wish - I have a journey to make (need to overcome fears to do it)- and someone to see at least once before I go.

I didn't know you were having treatment, Postdog - best of luck with it.
