What I've done

This post is inspired by Lovely Adena, who has done much in Her life and is contemplating what is yet left to do:

What I have done:

Eaten squirrel, pheasant, shark, porcupine, goat, pork brain, lychee fruit, acorns and hurka (Hungarian blood sausage).

Traveled to Panama, Hungary (duh), Canada and Hawaii, and across the entire United States by car.

Seen in person the late John Denver, Vice President Dick Cheney and former presidential candidate Mark Warner.

Written a book (it ain't published yet, sorry).

Read every extant book from the beginning of time up through the Roman Plutarch, as well as the Quran, the Ramayana, the Book of Mormon and the Pseudepigrapha.

Visited a monastery, downtown Chicago, an Indiana corn field, London and the Hawaiian jungle.

Attended a Catholic Mass and a scattering of Protestant services, a synagogue, and visited an ancient Hawaiian haiu (temple, probably spelled wrong).

Had lunch with a famous author.

Learned to identify wild plants in my locale. Eaten some of them (the non-poisonous ones).

Been stung by wasps, jellyfish, bees, nettle and the words of former friends.

Visited an orphanage and Washington DC, Monticello, Seattle, Los Angeles, Honolulu, St. Louis and Denver.

Wet my fingers in the Mississipi, James, Danube, Susquehanna and Columbia rivers.

Ridden in a plane, a train and a boat. Set foot in a sub and the replicas of the Jamestown ships.

Sampled the cuisines of Jamaica, India, Germany, Hungary, the Southern US, Hawaii, Mexico, Vietnam, China, Japan, England and Greece.

That's probably enough for now.
