Graduated from high school. Started smoking. Started working as a programmer in my sophomore year of college. Got married. Graduated from college. Quit smoking. Had a daughter. Bought a house. Run two marathons, three half-marathons, and more 5K's and 10K's than I can remember. Bought a sports car. Ridden two 350 mile bicycle tours. Bought an old house. Wrecked a sports car (twice!). You know something? My list doesn't stack up to yours at all. The nice thing about middle age is: I don't care.

Yes, when I was 14. It was terrifying. You had to go outside about the third level, on the leaning side, shuffle a quarter of the way around and go back in to another staircase. No railing on the outside part, just slippery marble sloping towards the edge of a very, very long way down. Cheers, Drew.

Bought everyone in the pub a drink I've never been quite that far gone. Swam with wild dolphins Unfortunately not. Does avoiding greedy monkeys (and their even greedier owners) in Thailand count? Climbed a mountain I only managed one rockface. I'm really good at rolling down hills in armour, though. Taken a Ferrari for a test drive Nope. The TT Roadster is a far better mobile handbag. :cool: Been inside the Great Pyramid No thanks. I've seen The Mummy one time too many already. Held a tarantula. Nearly. Her name is Taz, and she's huge. You have to feel sorry for the locusts, really. Taken a candlelit bath with someone At every opportunity. Shame the bath's never big enough... Said ‘I love you’ and meant it I never say it unless I mean it. Hugged a tree Erm...no chance. Done a striptease Of course. Hasn't everybody? Bungee jumped That doesn't appeal one bit. I'd rather try kitesurfing, quite frankly. Visited Paris It's on the list. :) Watched a lightning storm at sea Yes, from the safety of Bournemouth Pier. Awesome. Stayed up all night long, and watch the sun rise Yep and I was too drunk to notice. That's what happens on medieval campsites...:doh: Seen the Northern Lights Not yet. Maybe one day. Gone to a huge sports game That doesn't interest me in the slightest, although I was once part of the half time entertainment for the London Monarchs at White Hart Lance (17,000 spectators). How often do you get to let a cannon off inside a football stadium? Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa I've not been to Italy yet. Grown and eaten your own vegetables Don't need to. Buy them fresh in Charminster. Touched an iceberg I prefer warmer climes. :)

You should try one of those corner bathtub. Very nice, as long as you have a big enough balloon of hot water...
