I first saw this list on Kim's blog, so I went on to check Andasamo's who stole this list from Softdrink's.... Thus the pirating of the list continued. Also, I wanted to see what I need to do to enhance my life... :) so many things that I have yet to do....
Since it does not involve pictures, I thought I'd lift it and do it for this post. (I have stopped blogging because I have had lots of issues with sizing my photos for publication.... ) Plus this looks like a fun list.... so here goes.

Kim and Sandra,
I was part of a crowd (of thousands) in the Disney movie Angels in the Outfield. It was done in Oakland and my friends and I showed up at the colliseum when they were filming. LOL.
I met Norman Mineta (Secretary of Transportation and whom the San Jose, California Mineta International Airport is named after. I met him and Senator Mike Honda at the Tiki Bar in Waikiki and have pictures to prove it... LOL.
I also crashed a party in Napa hosted by Michael Chiarello of the Food Network.
