我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Swimming in a biolumiscent bay on Vieques off the coast of Puerto Rico on my son's 10th birthday. It was like floating thru a million liquid birthday candles.

Midnight Christmas Eve Mass at Notre-Dame and hearing the 300 year old Emmanuel Bell that is only rung on special occasions.

Hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in one day; sitting next to Yoko Ono on a Central Park bench for an hour; getting sprayed by the White House sprinklers).
