2) I dated the singer guitarist of a 90s grunge band that had a few hit songs.
3) I bought 400 shares of Apple at pretty close to their lowest price and sold them far too early.
4) George Clooney tipped me a $100.


All the singer guitarists I know in the biz are dudes so I hope #2 isn't the lie.

I'll go with #3. Even at the IPO in 1980 Apple stock was trading at $22. per share. Unless you're a rich kid, $8,800. bucks would be pretty stiff for a teenager / early $20's.

-One of the very few female led bands.
-The Apple stuff was all in 2003. Bought around $17ish early in the year and sold around 60 IIRC. It's traumatic and I try to block it out.

The marathon. Official time of 4:01. I could never break the 4 hour barrier.

Glad to be wrong.
So close but yet so far. 2 seconds. Still a damn good time for 26.2 miles. Remember fewer than 25% of marathoners have broken the 4 hour barrier.

Nice work.

If #2 is “true,” you’re modest.

This thread just keeps rolling along...I guess I'll join the fun.

1) I've gotten 8 speeding tickets.
2) I use to drive 145 mph formula cars at Laguna Seca.
3) I SCUBA dive monthly at Monterey/Carmel in water ranging 48 to 56 degrees.
4) Spent a week in Peru hiking 60 miles in 6 days at altitudes of 15,000+.
