I have
earned a master's degree in mathematics,
jumped off an airplane,
published math research in a peer-reviewed journal,
touched parts of the Moon and Mars,
performed on the same ticket as Barenaked Ladies,
lived in a house older than the United States,
baked a six-layer cake with mocha mousse and chocolate-macadamia ganache,
griped in person to the President of the United States,
operated an Internet subdomain,
lived in four states within 12 months,
invested multinationally,
procured magnetic tapes from the CIA,
litigated a lawsuit against the New Hampshire Department of Safety,
programmed for over thirty years,
organized two dozen game events for the 1994 Mensa Annual Gathering,
been published in Whole Earth Review,
gotten all the coins in Super Mario 64,
read thousands of books,
lived and worked in Germany,
driven from Florida to California,
earned a bachelor's degree in computer science,
played Asteroids for three hours on one quarter,
reviewed over 100 chocolate stores,
lifted tens of millions of pounds,
worn out a treadmill,
worked in operating systems for over a decade,
run for legislative office,
juggled blindfolded,
toured the sewers of Paris,
taught assembly language programming,
climbed Mount Washington, and
changed forints into zlotys.
However, I have never worn a necktie.
