Ranger stopped for a light and looked at me. “How about you? What's in your bucket list?”

I was stumped. I didn't have a bucket list. My bucket was empty.“I haven't gotten around to making a bucket list,” I said. “Do you think that's a personal failure?”

“No. You're busy living every day. That's a personal triumph.”

“It doesn't feel like a triumph. It feels like I'm moving through my life with no important goals or aspirations.”

“What do you consider to be an important goal?”

“Being a doctor or a vulcanologist or a marine biologist or finding the Ark of the Covenant.”
