At one time or another I have driven a forklift, repaired a radar, gone spelunking, sold a painting, fallen out of a tree, done whitewater kayak, performed electroretinography, been in Newsweek, served in a Formula III pit crew, been shot at, skinned a squirrel, eaten uni (one time only!), been run over by a car, caught an armadillo, chopped down a tree, made wax leaves, written for FRP, glissaded down a cinder cone, acted in a movie (speaking role!), programmed in a MUD, written sonnets and haiku, posed in life drawing, and been attacked by terns.
