Stuff to do before I die: Trotting and galloping

Haven't been to trotting or galloping races, so at least trotting is one I need to see. Gambling's not necessarily included! :)

Stuff to do before I die: Holding hands

As I live to die another day, it came to mind that when I'm old and hopefully love is ruling the world and one's own life, I wanna walk hand in hand with my mate.
