    Off the top I would say it was climbing up Mt Whitney back in August 17...

    It was my 6th hike, my first one in about 25 years or so was two months earlier @ Horsetail falls in Calif..

    Kinda nuts, thinking about it now..

    I don’t know...nothing spectacular. Getting published was cool. Getting pulled over for doing 35 mph over the speed limit on a bicycle was cool. Meeting Neil Armstrong was way cool. Having a gun pointed at me on three separate occasions in one night was definitely not cool but a bizarre story that’s pretty cool.

    Just admit that you still can't actually answer the question as written. I am probably in the same boat as you.

    But it is a great gift, often over looked & under appreciated until it is late or to late.

    I got shot at by these Federales while trying to cross the Border back into the US with this Guatemala guy. I made it, ... he ended up in the Tijuana Jail.

    Republicans are like Pavlov's dogs, heavily conditioned. They're nailed to his tail anyway, I think!

    I think the coolest things I've done were when I was working for the Samaritans, but we're not supposed to talk about those. I was quite proud of the fact that once, in my cups. I made up Italian out of the rusty bits of Latin and French lying about in my head, to the apparent satisfaction (over two hours or so) of a group of Italians. Perhaps, on the other hand, they were being incredibly polite and intelligent. It sticks in the head, whatever!

    Men (at least those with empathy) have it rough during the birth experience. You feel all the pain and suffering but you don't get the wonderful emotional rush when the baby is first laid in your arms the same as moms do. In that instant all the previous hours are wiped away as though they never existed. Good thing too, or we'd all have only one kid. lol
