Wow! The trumpet.. me too (and self-taught trombone, for about a year). How long did you play it? Do you subscribe to the theory that trumpet players are better kissers?
Haven't been to Hawaii? That's a surprise as it's a very beautiful place (or, more accurately, "places"), and pretty accessible from the U.S.
Which of what you haven't done would you really like to do?
Deborah responds: LOL, Brad! Actually, it was Jr. Hi band. I hated it. And I quite BECAUSE of that ugly red ring the mouthpiece left on my lips!
I can't pick just one. But I would say ALL of the ones that involve travel. ;-)

Cool list. Where did you zip-line?
Deborah responds: In the Santa Elana Cloud Forest near Monteverde in Costa Rica. A picture of me ziplinning used to be my header picture on this blog. Maybe I should change it back.

wow, you have done a lot of these of things! I love your header photo, by the way. Very cool.
Deborah responds: Thanks, Anne. That is the top of Mt. Lovcen in Montenegro. It is at the sight of the tomb of Montenegro's national hero.

Great list! You have done a lot. I am impressed. You haven't missed anything watching a lightening storm by sea. It is pretty scary.
