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

Thanks Charles, for the idea.

1. Watched a pod of Right Whales migrating south, just off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean at sunrise.
2. Witnessed the last breath of life leave a man’s body, with a raspy swooshing sound.
3. Was offered a job in a sleazy Newport strip club, after taking the stage on a $500 dare (Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax).
4. Was first in line the day the Mapplethorpe exhibit opened against protest in Cincinnati.
5. Told the male leader of a Right-to-Life protest group that if men could have babies there would be abortion clinics on every corner, with big screen TV’s, popcorn and beer – proceeded to watch as his head nearly exploded.
6. Touched the red sequined boob of Captain Wendy on Live TV, as she held me in her arms on the Uncle Al Show.
7. Threw up in a mosh pit.
8. Drove 120 miles per hour in a convertible Corvette at 3 a.m. on I275 – did I mention it was red.
9. Dropped out of nursing school one week before graduation.
10. Danced with the devil in the pale moonlight.
