100 Things Worth Doing, Part III

Memories that I hope flash before my eyes at the end of my life; one hundred moments, numbers forty-one through sixty.

41. Christmas Tree decorating parties.
42. Person of Adventure trips.
43. Mid-afternoon naps in the summertime, ceiling fan gently rippling fresh, crisp sheets.
44. Collecting fireflies in jars with Emily & Paige.
45. The first day of college.
46. Driving around back alleys at midnight with Fusspot, trying to find a dumpster for the scenic trash.
47. Building the Musee set, high on paint fumes and strung out on Mountain Dew.
48. Talking about WNA on the NBC morning news.
49. Trying to call a show that had gone so far awry that I just closed my book and gave up on the cues.
50. Demz's tattoo, locked inside a Hollywood tattoo parlor at 2am.
51. Pansies from my father every Easter.
52. Loud music, a heaving dancefloor, and a gorgeous stranger.
53. Spring break in Santa Barbara.
54. Venice beach at sunrise.
55. Capri.
56. The distinctive smell of a rugby tournament: freshly mown grass, sports cream, and clean sweat.
57. Being tucked into the papazan chair when I had chicken pox.
58. Getting pulled over in Utah, both of us trying not to laugh at the adolescent looking patrolman.
59. Bypassing the line at the Standard.
60. Sprawled on the bed at the Beverly Hilton, sharing a bottle of wine.
