ReplyDeleteWhen you are headed to the gym, do you actually go?
I walk for at least an hour a day, if I am home for the day, I do an hour on the treadmill, a 2.3 miles per hour and an 8 degree incline. Did it yesterday.
DeleteWow. You put in a lot of effort here. I just remembered, I took violin lessons for a year when I was under 10 years old. I wonder if I can still play “Ruben, Ruben, I’ve Been Thinkin’”
ReplyDeleteI played the tuba for a couple of years, but never really learned to read music.
DeleteGreat idea and great lists!
ReplyDeleteIt is a little long, but fun.
DeleteI'm amazed by the Amazing things you have experienced!
ReplyDeleteI have had a good life
DeleteThat was fun! I'm not going to water or snow ski either. I don't think I'll be flying in a zeppelin either. Tea with the Archbishop of Canterbury must have been fun.
ReplyDeleteThe tea party was part of a conference. The Zeppelin was a very pleasant ride.
ReplyDeleteI once touched Mozart's piano in Salzburg even though there were signs saying not to touch it. And I rode in the Goodyear blimp. Is that the same as a zeppelin? Your list of accomplishments is far ahead of mine, though.
ReplyDeleteIt was 25 years ago, early in the morning and I asked the guard if I could touch the bell, and the answer was touch yes, hit no. The newest Goodyear Blimps are made by Zeppelin, the older one's were made by Goodyear in the 60's. The steering and propulsion on the new one's is more advanced.
DeleteIt's not every day that I inspire somebody so thank you! Perhaps I should become a guru.
ReplyDeleteYou already are
DeleteFun reading! May I borrow this?
ReplyDeleteCertainly, I borrowed from Neil.
DeleteYou have had (and continue to have) such an interesting life. Go you!
