ReplyDeleteI want an iPhone too! Or I'll settle for a Blackberry Storm :)
ReplyDeleteAnd just the mention of caviar makes me drool. Yum.
That was a cool list, I did 50 of those things, more or less. One thing I remember doing that you didn't--I saw Michealangelo's David in NYC when it traveled here in the 60s for something, maybe the World's Fair. It was magnificent. One thing I have yet to do that you have done--see Old Faithful erupt. And I want to swim in the Great Salt Lake, now that you put that idea in my head!
