About two years ago, I wrote a list of 50 items that I want to accomplish in this lifetime. While a few have already been ticked off (experience an F1 race, see a Picasso art piece, paint, etc.) I’m still far from where I need to be. I’ve yet to shoot a gun, ride a roller coaster, or see a Paul McCartney concert.

Anyway, thinking about this list a week back, I put on this classical music collection that I bought in HK last November so I can finally see number 12 come to fruition. I figured, I can put aside Coltrane for the time being, who along with Thelonious Monk, has served as awesome nightcap partners for several years now.

I guess nobody would be surprised that over the course of my listens, I came upon Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Please lang ah. If only number 35 on my list isn’t celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary, I’d probably be ok with not hearing this song again. hahaha.

Actually, this guy sums it up rather nicely.
