Orlando Bloom and The Bongos

So I have been researching famous people's bucket lists.  Don't ask me why.  I guess I'm from the People Magazine, Entertainment Tonight generation.  Apparently Orlando Bloom (a Yorkie lover by the way) told Ellen Degeneres that one of his items on his list was to learn to play the bongos.  When he visited her show, she arranged for him to learn to do that.  My question is -- since Matthew McConaughey knows how to play (in the nude no less), why didn't he seek out his pal Matt?  I think I might be interested in learning to play from a nude Matthew.  Then again, maybe not.

I'm fiftysomething and have no bucket list

I'm fiftysomething and have no bucket list.  Oh, I'm hip.  I'm on Facebook and Twitter following everyone else's lives.  As a voyeur in social media, I realize I'm in the second half of my life (hopefully) with no bucket list.  What things do I want to do before the end comes?  Heck, I don't know.  The other day, one of my high school buddies went swimming with dolphins.  She said she could strike one more thing off her bucket list.  That got me to thinking.  I have no list.  I can't even think of anything to put on my list.  I need help.  I'm hoping to find folks who are willing to share their bucket lists with me, so I melt my brain freeze and make my list before it is too late.  Help me out.  Please.
