- I sang "Midnight Train to Georgia" at a Karaoke bar and got a standing ovation

- I won a TiVo at my company holiday party
- I won class representative in third grade by running an honest, clean campaign

- I got the number for Tina Fey's direct line at Saturday Night Live and called and left her a message (still waiting on the return call)
- I had a whirlwind romance with a handsome Italian man on a trip to Florence that included running hand in hand down a cobble stone street- very Roman Holiday

- When I was in eighth grade a radio station had a call-in contest looking for the best new campaign slogan for Bob Dole, my slogan won: "Bob Dole- America's right-hand man." (if you don't get it, just Google Bob Dole and hand)

First. I didn't realize you were such an accomplished singer. You need to stop by my office to tell me the bagel story but you need to sing it so I can hear your voice. Second. The license story is unbelievable. Finally, I too have an Italian man I met in Florence on my list of the coolest things as well as some other lists I have.
