  • are you about 1/2 way to death now that you finished so many!?  lol… =P  see you tomorrow!!!  oooohhh and i found my camera!!!!

  • that’s a great list! and good to know alot are done.

  • Wow, some of those items are pretty ambitious! Its amazing how many you have already done. But how about: Go heliboarding in alaska? Just curious, how did you get scuba certified w/o l earning to swim?

  • what a great list! :)

  • Wow, we have many similar sights to see… Neat-o
    that’s truly an amazing list and at your pace, ya gona be done b4 30… but that’s soo awesome.

    you get to add 100 more!! =D

    have a good weekend

  • i am also curious as to how you don’t know how to swim, but are scuba certified
    or floating doesnt count?

  • that is HILARIOUS!!!!   i was thinking a countryclub theme…. golf and tennis outfits!…  or we can do more along the lines of S&M…. or we can do Goth…. mention it to NASHVILLE…  Im sure he knows lots of themes…. something we can still look cute with….

  • Let me know if you need help with 89, but it has to involve 88. jk! Awesome list. You seemed to have accomplished most of these in a span for 2-3 years. Very inspiring to me.

  • so what did you do in the redlight district?

  • whoa to 88, 89, and 90! =D

  • neato. we share similar things :)

  • So you want to have a 3-some lesbian experience?

  • er, you should have a 3-some lesbian experience while hiking the narrows in Zion. Kill 3 birds with one stone.

  • RYC: i agree that waiting a year is probably a good idea as far as prices. i didn’t have a choice – if i waited a year my only choice would be a condo and not a house. i’m buying right next door to uci. when i did scuba, they actually had us swim quite a bit – probably 500 yards. some people didn’t pass.

    my backcountry riding trips aren’t bad. they do sometimes give a me chance to practice keeping a cool head and thinking my way out of a problem under a lot of stress. and at the end, i have had a renewed appreciation for being alive. :) seriously, i’m going to be a bit more cautious in the future. they’re certainly safe than climbing the seven summits.

  • wow.. this is an amazing list… and great job keeping up with it.. I need to scribe mine as well..

  • I <3 your list! I used to have one too – albeit much shorter.  Maybe I should start one up again and try to be ambitious with 100 things. :)

  • wow~ you’ve already accomplished a lot!  there are a bunch of things on your list i want to do too~ dog sledding in alaska, learn to swim, india and most of your travel ones!
