Everest, gotten frostbite on both my feet, eaten live fish, watched a man die, been to all 50 states, been punched out by a two-year-old, watched the sun set on Mt. Fuji, been in a store that was taken over by gunmen, heard the roar of a tiger while hiking in the jungle, mastered the art of barbeque, stood alone in St. Mark's Square in Venice, Viewed Lenin's pasty corpse in Red Square, participated in a police chase, been gassed in the subway, picketed to save the whales, lived through an earthquake, and I am currently working on a PhD in political science at the University of Colorado.
