Ten things I’ve done that you probably haven’t
Concept yoinked from babagannoush’s blog….
- 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
- Talked with Wolfgang Puck about my choice of appetizer, talked movies with the Pink Power Ranger, and talked screenwriting with Gene Hackman
- Had an office on Michegan Avenue in Chicago
- 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!)
- Spent so long trying to find a single parking space I had to stop and get gas so I could continue parking
- Hiked 100 miles in 10 days in New Mexico’s Sangre de Christo mountains
- Performed a Rachmaninoff prelude (half decently) for a piano recital, with a broken thumb
- Ate caviar and chatted with models at an Armani party
- Developed plans for a light-speed engine, and sent them to NASA (I was about seven years old…)
- 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.
