what’s on your list?

Things I have to do before I die:

  1. Stand on all seven continents. I have 5 down, 2 to go. Australia should be easy but so far it is proving to be elusive. Antarctica will be really cool. I mean, where else can I see a 700 foot cliff of ice?
  2. Make love under the Northern Lights

Things I have scratched off the list already:

  1. Eat at a Brazilian churrascuria - First time actually was in Houston, but the one in Rio was really nice.
  2. Jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Since I went through jump school with the Army I’ve already done this one.  Recently I went with a friend of mine to a place called SkyVenture, where you can sky dive in a wind tunnel. That was so much fun. They’ve opened one near my home; I hope to get the kids to try it with me.

Sunrise at the Grand Canyon

We got up wicked early (4am) and drove 50 miles to see the sunrise over the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Just tremendous.

Oh, the colors! Sunrise Sunrise at Grand Canyon north rim
Then we drove back and had a huge pancake breakfast. Nice. All before 9am.
