I've been tagged on the "25 Random Things About Me" exercise several times, so here goes:
1. I like playing Scrabble and poker, though I'm not much good at either.
2. I have had stitches twice and a broken bone once.
3. I am fascinated by the squirrels in our yard. Their dexterity in managing fence rails, telephone wires, and tree branches is just astounding.
4. I broke the school record for cross country when I was in high school.
5. I ran 13 miles from Manitou Springs to the top of Pikes Peak without training for it. Not recommended (not training for it, that is. The climb is spectacular).
6. I could easily live on cereal, plain pasta, red bell peppers, provolone cheese, steamed broccoli, coffee, lunch meat, root beer floats, potato chips, and white wine. Oh, and water.
7. Erin is my best friend.
8. My favorite short story is James Joyce's "Araby." I must have had a similar experience once.
9. Nearly all my friends are women, which I think is great.
10. The best driving song ever is Jimi Hendrix's version of "Drivin' South." Apropos, indeed.
11. I've always wanted a 1967 Corvette. It needs to have a very specific options package, so please ask before you go out and buy this car for me. This is exactly what I'm looking for.
12. I haven't watched a single professional sports event since John Elway retired ten years ago. Can't say I've missed any of it.
13. One dream I have is to walk alone for a week across the Mojave Desert. Not during the summer, of course.
14. I cannot handle watching the roller coaster on top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas.
15. I drive the same way to work every day.
16. I love the prairie.
17. I love the fish tanks at a nearby sushi bar.
18. I didn't see the ocean until I was 40 years old.
19. I am interested in design of all types and how it affects our attraction (or not) to certain things.
20. Being married has been the hardest thing I've ever done, but it has also been my greatest source of happiness.
21. My color blindness doesn't affect my enjoyment of color.
22. I'll take doing laundry over cooking any day.
23. I like life's ambiguity.
24. I have been among the top 300 finishers in all six years I ran the Bolder Boulder (running has obviously played a major role in my life).
25. Nothing feels better than a big, genuine laugh.
There, got 'er done.

#9 makes me laugh.
#14--I've been on the coaster as well as the needle drop on the Strastosphere. The coaster wasn't a big deal because it's a short ride and doesn't go very quickly due to centrifugal force. However, I started crying when I got on the needle drop and my stupid ex-boyfriend made me go anyway. It was terrifying.
#18---With me!!! Woo hoo!! You have to come back and see it in good weather and when I'm not puking.
I completely forgot about the needle drop (probably because I was incapable of looking any higher than the coaster). That's just plain mean to force someone to go on it. I would have broken up with that guy, too.
That was a really special day to see the ocean with you. You were a real trooper trying to hold your cookies down on that winding road to Point Reyes. There's no way I could have done it, so thank you again for hanging on and making it such a fun and memorable trip (for me).
#6 No beer? I'm skeptical.
just because you are a Facebooker doesn't exempt you from updating your blog, mister!
