Geezer has to admit that Outside magazine’s recent piece described in the lede as “50 things to do before you die” was probably a lot easier to assign to freelancers than a piece on “50 things to do after you’re dead,” would have been, but the package is so all-over-the-map that it could have been called “50 things to do that almost nothing in common.” So why does Geezer mention the package? Because several of these babies are very cool indeed, Geezer recommends the more substantial pieces, such as Ed Viesturs’ advice on how to Climb an 8,000 Meter Peak  (methodically), how to Kayak the Grand Canyon (slowly), and how to Bike the Tour Route (when there is no tour in progress). Definitely worth a read before you die.

Good Afternoon! – My name is Joe Havlick, I’m 45, married with two boys (5 and 8) and I live in Ardmore, PA.
I think learning to juggle is a great “Thing to do before you die.”
I am a juggler and teach juggling. I taught a course for a local adult night school and had a surprisingly large turnout. The other surprise to me at the time was the average age, which was somewhere in the senior citizen range. (This over-40 site is not a senior site, but the fact that over-60’s can learn makes it certain that over-40’s can learn.) We had a great time working on the juggling together. Juggling is a great skill for older folks to learn – it’s fun, it takes some time, dedication, and patience (my parents have more of these than I do!) to learn, and you can do it on your own or with others.
Now I’m pursuing my PhD and my experiment involves teaching juggling online. My site and its teaching methods are based on a gradual approach to learning to juggle that grew out of my adult night school teaching experience among other influences. I think it is well-suited to older students.
All one has to do to learn is to go to my website and follow along:

(By the way, it’s free, thank goodness for university research!)
