- Stood atop an active volcano
- Delivered conference presentations (partly and probably poorly) in a foreign language
- Dined on Wagu steak
-
Dranktook a sip of high-endjet fueltequila - Flew in first class
- Ate sushi from a giant pewter crab
- Left my computer at home, turned off for over a week
- Encountered a deadly Fer-de-Lance on a trail
- Snorkeled a barrier reef
- Walked on a deserted island
- Husked, split, and ate fresh coconut
- Played ice hockey in the tropics—outdoors
- Ate live termites
Gotta say it's been a pretty cool month.
