LAST RIGHTS

As a takeoff from The Bucket List, I present The Last Rights. Very simply, which of these would you most liked to have done in your lifetime? Or, if your a younger reader still posed on the threshold of life, which one would you pick as the best? Also, feel free to add your own.

Number 1--fight the bull as the matador pictured. With full regalia in a stadium with roaring fans.

Number 2--ride the wave. Surf into the curl, the pipeline. Ride it on your board with tv crew recording.

Number 3--slam dunk a basketball. Not off a trampoline. Off hardwood floors. Hang on the rim with both hands. Pull yourself up on the rim.

Number 4--kick the game winning field goal. With no time left on the clock. Watch and wait as the football rises and splits the uprights.

Number 5--bowl a perfect game. Know that you need only one more strike and the crowd is buzzing. As you hit your mark, watch as the ball rolls into the 1-3 pocket.

Lots of other Last Rights. We've all had them. Maybe not to that magnitude, but in our own lives, we've hit the perfect golf shot, we've played the perfect piece, we created the perfect picture, we sealed the perfect business deal, we've made the perfect meal, we've inspired, we've perspired, we've dreamed, we've achieved.

Celebrate what rights are lasting. And, by the way, why are they rights? Just because they felt so right, so good.
