Titanic.
It will be 100 years ago this coming weekend, and there are so many news stories about Titanic that I hardly know where to begin. But we can start here, here, here, and here.

My bucket list, or why I want to win $250,000 in a lottery.
Everyone has a bucket list. On mine?
__ Swimming with sharks? Yep. (Thanks to the Georgia Aquarium.)
__ Seeing a great white shark? Missed it by two weeks, and still enjoyed our trip to the Monterey Aquarium.
__ Going down to Titanic in a submersible? Doesn't look likely. Today's New York Times story (here) prices the final year of trips at almost $60,000 each. Nevada doesn't have a lottery; I'm no good at video poker or any other type of gaming; and no one's volunteering to sponsor a trip for me, so I have a feeling that this bucket-list trip is out of my league. Well, at least there's the Big Piece in Luxor's Titanic exhibit. That'll have to do.
