The Anti-Bucket List
I think everyone is now familiar with the term Bucket List as a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. When I was having treatment for advanced Colorectal Cancer I decided that when I got better I would flip the idea and came up with The Anti-Bucket List… these were [...]
