1) Join the Navy to become a film maker. (Sheah! Like THAT was going to happen!)
2) Agree to go rock climbing with my brother on the back of the Stonestown Car Ports. Temporary suspension of sanity that came rushing back when I actually saw my life pass before my eyes while dangling in mid-air, Wile E. Coyote style, before my brother's fast reflexes grabbed my arms and pulled me to safety.
3) Enter (and win) a Valentine's Day Radio Contest for a girl I'd met on the internet who lived 2000 miles away and thus would never hear the love poem I'd written for her. (Though it did earn me and my roommate a nice pizza from a local place ;) See, I told you I was a crazy romantic!
1. I had this geology class in college and it had a weekend lab. We'd take these bus trips all over, and the last weekend was a full weekend overnight trip. On that trip, we scaled the side of a mountain so we could explore geology "from above," and then climbed down the ridge of the mountain. We also climbed up a dormant volcano and then "skied" down - jumping like you do on moguls. It was so much fun and so awesome. I was always afraid of heights, and that just really helped me push through my fears.
2. I waited 17 years to get my driver's license
3. I got married, had my son, graduate from law school, took the bar exam, passed the bar exam, and had my daughter all in 3 years.

1. Attempt to sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to a bunch of teenage girls when I was a teen, only to leave my best friend hanging.
2. Agree to coach T-Ball. Three years in a row.
3. Starting a blog.

Will,
I left some responses to your April 6 post, and the other one today.
Crazy Things:
So does it matter if you were drunk or sober?
1. Joined the Army just to annoy my Mother. She was dead against it but then bragged about it later.
2. Ran for Chief Union Steward against the incumbant who was very angry about it and sent his intimidating lackies after me. I won.
3. Toured Europe alone when I was 21. I had a couple of close calls but I gave them the slip. I must have a gardian angel for sure.
