Before I turn 28, I will have: Danced in a Luau, walked on an active volcano, climbed a mountain, sailed for a week 100 miles offshore, hiked 100 miles in one trip, gone SCUBA diving, preformed live CPR, flown an airplane, skied on an alpine downhill Olympic course (well, snowboarded it really), gone bob sledding, eaten live ants, caught a piranha, walked on a glacier, caught a Tiger-Muskie, gone on tour, gone on safari on the back of an elephant, deployed to Iraq, had a beer in Prague, meditated in Bali, took mass in the Vatican, attended a wedding above the artic circle, swam in a waterfall in Croatia, seen a blue-footed booby in its natural habitat, caught a catfish with my bare hands, tracked a rhino on foot, gone to mardi gras (twice), rode a fan boat, held an alligator, sat in front of the stands at a baseball game, gone on campaign (twice), run a tough mudder, walked around the Japanese imperial palace, broken more than 6 bones and had a surgical implant, walked through a shanty town in South Africa, played with a tiger cup, snowmobiled in Yellowstone, seen a live Zulu dance... at Isandlwana (Zulu-land), backpacked through central Europe, though Japan, blacked out for over a minute, stood at the site of the Berlin wall, strolled through red square, canoed through the Amazon, lived in Russia, watched someone get caned in Singapore, climbed Mt. Fuji, seen four people die first hand in the ER while on EMT rotation, attended the Queen's 50th Jubilee, been hit by lightning (ground shock knocked me off my feet), dove into a cenote, drank wine in a cave in Moldova, caught the Noro-virus, worked hay-season, ridden a horse in Canada, been to a *practicing* medicine man, studied in the nation's capital, scored in a national sports tournament, toured the back rooms at Capital Hill, enjoyed the company of some of the best people on this earth, and as always, wondered everyday what else I could be doing
