I had to complete an exercise the other day in which I listed three things about myself (two true, one false). It got me thinking: are there other interesting things about me that might not be general knowledge? These are all true:
1. I've flown in the cockpit of a commercial airliner.
2. I've sung karaoke . . . in Japan.
3. I've fed pigeons in Trafalgar square.
4. I've stood for "Dixie" while it was being played by a British military band.
5. I've fallen off my bike while stopped at a stoplight.
6. I've owned (and tried to play) what many consider the worst video game ever made.
7. I've done a scuba dive on a sunken hotel.
8. I've waded several miles in waist-deep floodwater . . . and then squished directly into McDonald's for dinner.
9. I've stood on the spot where Magellan was supposedly slain.
10. I know first-hand what an APC-mounted 14.5 mm heavy machine gun sounds like.
I don't have any idea why I made this list . . . these things were just rattling around in my brain.

Not to mention the eruption of a volcano!
You have led a remarkably interesting life.
I like this.
A lot.
I was particularly moved by numbers 4 and 5.
