Ten things I’ve done that you probably haven’t

Concept yoinked from babagannoush’s blog….

  1. Held a real (not a cast) 90 million year old dinosaur bone … after one of People magazine’s 1997 “50 Most Beautiful People” handed it to me
  2. Talked with Wolfgang Puck about my choice of appetizer, talked movies with the Pink Power Ranger, and talked screenwriting with Gene Hackman
  3. Had an office on Michegan Avenue in Chicago
  4. Spent 10 hours negotiating my way out of a lawsuit*I ended up doing what they asked me to do, but in a way that completely screwed them over by being virtually unusable to them! Bwahahahahaha — on my birthday (I had to cancel the party… this really sucked!)
  5. Spent so long trying to find a single parking space I had to stop and get gas so I could continue parking
  6. Hiked 100 miles in 10 days in New Mexico’s Sangre de Christo mountains
  7. Performed a Rachmaninoff prelude (half decently) for a piano recital, with a broken thumb
  8. Ate caviar and chatted with models at an Armani party
  9. Developed plans for a light-speed engine, and sent them to NASA (I was about seven years old…)
  10. Got married to the woman of my dreams (heck, top just that!), moved to a city neither of us had ever been to, signed a lease on an apartment I hadn’t seen, started a new job, flew on six airplanes, drove 5,000 miles, and visited nine states as many as four times each — all in about 20 days

    I remember who you’re talking about in #1. It’s so cool a palientologist (SP?) made the list. Good looking guy, I must admit.

    As for #7, that was an excellent performance.
