Some explanation:

Numbers 3, 17, 26, 46, 57, 100, 121, 128
I grew up in Europe on a mountain and we traveled a great deal, my thrill was climbing EVERYTHING.

Number 4
During the first Gulf War I wandered into a restricted area on our garrison in Germany.

Number 6
I had one as a pet in Kindergarten.

Number 37
Katie and I did that, all the time, because it offended people and we were too lazy to get our suits.

Number 43
Everyday for the second half of first grade, I was the coolest kid for that reason alone.
Edited To Add
Number 139
I have been hit by the school bus when I was in first grade (this I walked or was dropped off) and during my senior year I was hit by a drunk driver and nearly killed. I still feel that one, as well as hear it, every time I think about it � which isn�t often.
