Because I Made It Rain

This is called my Because I Made it Rain List, instead of bucket list because I like the sound of it better.  It is a reference to the final episode of the first season of How I Met Your Mother, where Ted said he made it rain, and that was enough, he had done everything possible.  To me, that means, that because he made it rain, it means he had done everything possible which means there could be no regrets.
