The enterprising Adoro tagged me in a new meme - "Top Ten Things I Did That Still Surprise The Hell Out Of Me".
Gosh, I don't know where to begin - my life is just non-stop action, after all. Full of intrigue and excitement.
Not.
But here goes - in no particular order.
1) Took the mule tour down into Bryce Canyon National Park - had about seven heart attacks and near-death experiences...or at least it felt that way at the time. Exhilarating and scary.
2) Friends and I raced trains back in college - in other words, jumping across the tracks in front of oncoming freight trains. Yeah, I used to be young and foolish, and hung around with other young and foolish guys. Now I'm just un-young.
3) Climbed to the top of the smokestack at the Michigan State University power plant. In the dark. Had to climb atop the top of the coal conveyor adjacent to the smokestack, ascend that and then step across to reach the catwalk that encircled the stack, about halfway up.
4) Applied to the Eastman School of Music in Rochester NY, but decided to attend college elsewhere.
5) Participated in two MS-150 bike marathons back in the early 90's. 150 miles on a bike over two days to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis. Thank God for padded bike pants.
6) Went on a hot-air balloon ride.
7) Starred in a high-school play.
8) Saw the sunrise over Haleakala.
9) Witnessed the births of each of my sons.
10) Married a wonderful woman.
Wow - I did a meme! That could go on the list too! Now I'm supposed to tag five other bloggers, so here they are:
Nod at Wynken, Blynken & Nod
TH2 at The Heresy Hunter
Adrienne at Adrienne's Corner
Erin at And Sometimes Tea
SherryTex at Chocolate For Your Brain
Have fun!
