Cool bolds. Wow, so I am not the only person I know who has been stung by a bee inside the mouth – go figure! 🙂
(And Sandra, seriously, you need to go skinny-dipping at least once in your life, it’s very liberating!)
I bumped into Gilda Radner once, literally, in the lobby of a Broadway theater. And I’ve broken my collar bone in addition to a myriad of small bones that you can’t repair (e.g., pinky toe).
Ok, I got distracted the first time I came to post a comment when I clicked over to read your hiking, biking, and bears post.
So who did you meet that was famous? And which bone?
Great bolds.
#57 has piqued my interest…
37/100 for me (and I WILL be stealing this for my blog)… looks like I need to expand my whatsits.
KIm,
What I want is a recipe for those hash brownies! (You have made them by now, haven’t you?)
Love your blog and sense of humor. Keep on keeping on, dear Kim.

I agree with #19…for some reason it was smaller than I thought it would be, too.
You really have never been to Niagara Falls?? We must get you up there!!
Excellent list, Kim. And 53 is a good number.
I’m beginning to think that I’m the only person who has never hitchhiked. Or gone skinny-dipping.
