https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv My name is Brett Fox. I live in the Southwestern corner of Missouri, and teach English at Carthage High School. I'm a husband, dog dad, son, uncle, and brother. My favorite pastimes include reading, hiking, game nights, being outdoors, playing intramural sports, and firepits. My bucket list is important to me. I know that I only have this one chance at life to accomplish everything I want to accomplish. en-us 2022-09-26 13:19:28 UTC 2022-12-20 16:21:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/26f0.png foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313641974 I would like to convert a cargo trailer into a camper so that it can be 100% custom. I want to install a pull-down bed with a spot for my dogs to sleep underneath. There will be an air conditioner in the room, a small kitchen, a shower, and several windows. This trailer will be used for taking trips with my dogs in the summer.]]> 2022-09-26 13:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313641974 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313806419 I'm not very musically talented, but I believe I have enough rhythm to shake a tambourine around for an evening; or even just for one song. I currently own a tambourine which gets used when we have firepit evenings with friends. The moment would be perfect no matter who it was for, but the goal would be to procure a spot on stage with Maddie.]]> 2022-09-26 14:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313806419 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313810077 Balance has always been one of my strong suits. I enjoy how it takes nearly every muscle in your body.

I want to return so that I can experience it at a greater level. According to Raft Arizona, June-August is the best time for rafting and April-September is the best time for hiking. ]]> 2022-09-26 14:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2313816554 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314024518 After reading "Wayward" by Alice Greczyn, I have the urge to share my own story. I plan to interview friends and family, and then mapping out a timeline of my life. I don't know that it will ever be published, but I believe the process will be therapeutic. ]]> 2022-09-26 16:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314024518 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314043485 This one of my two favorite breeds. I would have one already, but I do not want to purchase a pet. I want to adopt through a rescue.

I would want to adopt a male. I have loved bird dogs my entire life, despite not being a hunter. Male GSPs usually weigh 45-60 pounds, are eager to please (making them highly trainable), have high energy levels, and need lots of mental stimulation.]]> 2022-09-26 18:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314178947 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314212591 There are 63 national parks in the US. I know I have been to several, but I want to be sure and experience all of them. Hiking is my favorite hobby, and I love nature, so this bucket list item is perfect for me. I plan to purchase a national park journal so I can record a bit about each of my visits.]]> 2022-09-26 18:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314212591 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314219359 According to Scientific American, "Female trees produce no pollen, but they trap and remove large amounts of pollen from the air, and turn it into seed."

The aforementioned artists are incredible with words and wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Ideally, one of them would respond and I would revise the lyrics with them. This is probably a "pipe dream," but I will definitely give it a try at some point.]]> 2022-09-26 18:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314227079 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314251710 Although my singing voice scares most, if not all, I would love to be able to play guitar for friends when game nights come to an end and everyone retires to the backyard to chill. It's a vibe. 

Maple Leaf Music Company here in Carthage, MO offers private guitar lessons. Their "lessons can be 30 minutes-60 minutes long each week, depending on your budget and availability."

I also love any "excuse" to be outdoors. One thing I could do before I actually start my own garden is read books for beginners, ask both my mom and mother-in-law for advice, and potentially find a community garden to help with.]]> 2022-09-26 19:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314262765 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314269769 Call me weird, but one of my favorite things in the world is to pet the muzzle of a horse, with my thumb on the outside of one nostril and my other four fingers on the outside of the other nostril. I've always been drawn to horses; They're beautiful, powerful, and I feel like I could make a connection with mine. In my mind, my horse would be best friends with my dogs and any other animals on my future property. Also, sort of related, when I was in junior high my family had a horse. There was one day I was brushing his (or her?) hide and I was wearing flip flops. That was a mistake.]]> 2022-09-26 19:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314269769 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314287595 These are by far some of my favorite creatures. I would love to be a part of helping these sleek, slippery pinnipeds (marine mammals) recover from injuries in some manner. The first time I ever saw a sea lion or seal was at a zoo when I was about 8 years old, and I was mesmerized. Getting to interact with such an amazing animal would be such a cool experience.]]> 2022-09-26 19:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2314287595 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319849806 Six American women have won the Olympic individual all-around title, including five consecutive titles from 2004–20: Mary Lou Retton (1984), Carly Patterson (2004), Nastia Liukin (2008), Gabby Douglas (2012), Simone Biles (2016), and Sunisa Lee (2020).]]> 2022-09-29 17:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319849806 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319858774 Autumn is my favorite season. I enjoy sitting on my back porch every evening while my dogs run around, watching the sun set and the maple trees change. I imagine it would be perfect; Sitting on a train, traveling slowly through the mountains, the window down, crisp Autumn air blowing in, a cup of black coffee in my hands, and brightly colored trees EVERYWHERE.]]> 2022-09-29 17:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319858774 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319868285 Growing up in tornado alley is no joke. I feel like we, well myself at least, don't think about the magnitude of these natural disasters because we do experience them. I would love to chase one (with someone who knows what they're doing) so I could see the force first hand. ]]> 2022-09-29 17:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2319868285 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2320035159 I find it freeing to go without my phone or any technology from time to time. My mental health takes a hit when I don't go on a digital detox every so often. I imagine I would spend the month in a cabin, hiking, and listening to music from a record player. I would cook all of my meals, read lots of books, and journal. I would also spend time writing my memoir, if I hadn't yet.]]> 2022-09-29 20:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2320035159 foxb13 https://padlet.com/foxb13/ct9v575snesi29wv/wish/2321058047 This organization was started by five dudes (friends), one camera, and a bet between them.

Playing, swimming, etc. I would want to take my camera so that I could capture some special moments.
