I don't have a written bucket list but I've told plenty of people what the top item on that list is: Paul McCartney's autograph.
Last Friday (06/26/26) Tom went out to pick up a package that the USPS placed on our brick steps while we were at the Y. I saw him take it into the garage where he remained for some time.
When he came into the house he was carrying something. "Be careful what you wish for," he said as he handed it to me.
It was Paul McCartney's autograph in a Lucite case (magnetic closures so it can be easily opened).
He ordered it online some weeks ago. And it looks just like other autographs that are posted:

I've always been into The Beatles since I saw them on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. I attended a Beatles concert in Cincinnati in 1966 (click here) and a Paul McCartney concert in Green Bay in 2019 (click here).
Those are both highlights of my life but a McCartney autograph is in yet another special category.
How can I ever thank Tom for something of this caliber?
