After watching the Bucket List and the Yes Man I got motivated to create this group. I am not planning on leaving this Earth anytime soon, but I wanted to try many things in life before I go.

Partial bucket list: wall climbing, Judo, fencing, zip lines, kayaking, snorkeling, riding on a jet-ski, learning to swim, wall climbing, visiting India, Tibet, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, and Burma. I've already tri …

People are often surprised at how different a Laughter Club is from what they expect. Generally, people feel happy after a laughing session, and some report reduced pain or feel clearer in their minds. Laughter offers a multitude of benefits to the body and mind-- and it works even if the laughter isn't genuine. Dr. Madan Kataria, an Indian doctor and student of Yoga, began research on the health benefits of laughter in 1995. Dr. Kataria was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Ill …
