Family section seats for the Giants vs. Cardinals football game are ringing in at $130 a pop right now. If I act fast I can buy a set of 4 and only spend $520 + tax to watch the Giants lose. I think I’m going to save that money for a VR rig. At least in virtual space things aren’t destined to go horribly and repeatedly wrong. Having a VR rig and an Oasis-style experience is on my bucket list. The more I move through life, the more I collect a list of things that I would love to do before I cannot. Here are a few.
Tour Japan

Leap from a Plane
Skydiving is crazy and stupid and beautiful. I want to leap from a plane, feel my tummy drop, and experience that ridiculous free fall. I want to experience the curve of the earth as I rush towards it, and then gracefully float to a stop.
Drive on the Autobahn
No speed limit is a sick concept, and while I am not ready for that level of driving, I have always felt that this is one of those experiences that I could fall into. However, it will require a fair degree of training, which leads me to…

Supe up a Car
Sensing a trend? I drive a little box of a 4 cylinder car. I wish it was 6 and had juice. I would love to supe it up and give it to the kids once they’re ready to drive such a beast.
Propose on the Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is 13,000 miles long. I want to walk a section with the love of my life and, upon one knee, offer my hand and heart in marriage. Seems like the place such a thing ought to be properly done.
