Bucket List


For Christmas the elders gave us a gift card. This afternoon and evening we decided to spend it by going to a movie and out to eat. After a little discussion we settled on going to see The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. It's a good flick... including both Jack Nicholson humor and those typical aahhhh moments when you listen to Morgan Freeman talk about almost anything.

The storyline is basically two guys, one a billionaire and the other an auto mechanic, roommates in a hospital, both dying of cancer... they come up with a "bucket list"... that list of things you'd really like to do before you "kick the bucket."

They head off around the world in the billionaire's jet, doing really cool stuff, and, along the way, discover some much deeper aspects of life.

The movie is funny and it makes you think. Nicholson and Freeman are both good. See it if you get the chance.
