My List 5 & 6

5.  Visit all 7 continents:  I like to travel and I like to be reminded that there is a great big world out there that doesn’t revolve around me and my “little world.”  Sure, this is a hard one to complete – it’s time consuming and may very well eat up my retirement savings, but there are beautiful places to visit and fascinating people to see.  “Be serious, are you really intending to go to Antarctica?”  Why, yes I am.  If it happens to be on a cruise and we get close enough to spot a penguin…I’m counting it.  So far?  North America and Europe. 

6.  Run a half marathon…and then finish a whole stinking 26 mile marathon:  I know…is there another kind of marathon that isn’t 26 miles?  I just felt that I needed to emphasize how ridiculous it is that people actually run 26 miles.  These people are out of their minds crazy.  They’re nut jobs and wackos of the worst kind.  But they are also extremely self-disciplined and I really admire them.  So much so, that I want to be crazy just like them!
