This is a great list! Very impressive. (And you've already done tons more than I have.) (I like the strike-outs, too. Nice touch.)
You should tag Rilla for skydiving, by the way.
Oh, and maybe (at least) hold off on that book writing till I get one under my belt. Pretty please?
:)
wow you've done alot
driving across country is a great way to get some states and states of mind under your belt.* And you could feasibly drive to, say, California, and then go deep-sea fishing.**
*Some road trip states of mind include:
-The initial optimism that this is going to be the best, most character-revealing, transcendental three days of our lives.
-Contempt for every song with notes or selected by someone other than you
-The quassi-realization that you are in a transcendental state between awake and whatever the word is for forty-eight hours of fake sleeping on duffel bags.
-Sleep. Glorious, No-showers-in-three-days, rest stop sleep.
**deep-sea fishing is a lot like regular fishing, but with a boat and sea-sickness.
