    Boy, this was long. I'll just include the ones I've commented on:

    03. Climbed a mountain - yep, every year
    04. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive - no license yet
    09. Hugged a tree - I had a favourite tree when I was about 11, and was very sad when the landowner cut it down
    12. Watched a lightning storm at sea - from a beach in Thailand - amazing
    13. Stayed up all night long and saw the sun rise - um, every Christmas party
    14. Seen the Northern Lights - not too hard where I am, most recently 2 weeks ago
    31. Screamed as loudly as you possibly can - during giving birth counts, right?
    33. Seen a total eclipse - yes, and it was quite spooky
    36. Danced like a fool and not cared who was looking - um, every Christmas party
    38. Actually felt happy about your life, even for just a moment - luckily, lots of times. Just not at the moment.
    41. Taken care of someone who was drunk. I once had to babysit a teacher on a university trip, he was an alcoholic, got wasted and passed out. Very sad, not least his reaction when he realized what had happened.
    48. Gone rock climbing - 2 or 3 times a week
    50. Gone sky diving - my hell-i-can-do-what-i-want-period
    76. Gone without food for 5 days - I was an apprentice jockey (see above) when I was 16-19, and went pretty much without food for a week to make the weight for a specific race. never ever again.
    102. Sang loudly in the car, and didn’t stop when you knew someone was looking - ha, I do this on my bike frequently
    108. Piloted an airplane - yes! got to try out a set of double controls once
    116. Fired a rifle, shotgun, or pistol - yes, but only at tin cans pretending to be polar bears
    135. Selected one “important” author who you missed in school, and read - I once took Miltons Paradise Lost along as my only reading material for a two-month long hiking trip. Nearly went insane.

    Wow...amazing that I have actually done 60 of those...maybe not so many compared to others, but I think I'm on a roll so far! I will only share a few though...one's that I was very excited to have answered!!!

    #43 - when I was in Istanbul in May, we went out one night to a "club" that had live traditional music. My friend Suzanne and I ended up dancing with a guy who called himself a "gypsey." It was a blast! So cool to be in this real local bar and mingling and dancing with these young locals!

    #63 - don't many of us...we do mountain bike, you know!!

    #150 - I worked as an ocean rescue lifeguard, so I can honestly say that I have saved people's lives.

    I guess those are a few of the more interesting ones!

    Going through the list I counted I had done 68 of the items listed. I figure that's not bad. I have been fortunuate to live a fairly adventurous life which has also lead to some broken bones and major surgery (on the list!)! Some things I'm proud I haven't done (like alph'd my CD's - who has time??? Or gotten drunk on champagne or any other liquor for that matter). some things I dream of doing and hopefully some day will (like visit Japan and the Great Wall of China), and some things I regret I will never do like raise children. But then I look back on my life, all the ups and downs and think there's not much I would change. All the loves and disappointments, adventures and tragedy has made me what I am today (an old woman living alone with her cat - not too bitter... joking!) a woman who enjoys her freedom, friends, adventures and sport. Would I be the cyclist today that I am otherwise?

    Um, *that* list is by somebody who has too much time on his/her hands I've got to go out and ride my bike in the pouring rain (is that on the list?) = I'm too busy living to count what I've done

    (truth: don't have attention span to go thru whole list )
