1. either swimming with sharks... in a cage counts if they’re ginormous
2. or, more recent, adult onset stage fright, karaoke anyone... but seriously swimming with sharks sounds easier.

15. Conquer tough mudder

Things that didn’t make the list:

• Sit the black hole at a raiders game
• Get a tattoo... aka divorce because Jer would leave me haha
• Eat a cricket
• Fight in a MMA match... or is it a MMA battle?  rumpus?
• Bungee jumping or skydiving because I’m not an idiot
• Fold 1000 origami cranes.  Jer said, “uh, how would you not die”
• kiss passionately in the “snain” … that’d be Jers made up word for when its both snowing and raining.
• Being part of a local play.... do we even have local theater here in Truckee?!
• Lots of crazy trip ideas that might end up happening but we can’t force it... especially given that cage diving with sharks runs at about $800.  gulp.
