Things That I have Seen

Was in the CNE grandstand when George Bell caught the final out to secure the Blue Jays their first ever AL East crown. My brother still has the stub, along with an I heart NY button that has "in 2nd place" in teeny tiny print on the bottom of it.
Also saw Stieb take a perfect game into the ninth at Skydome only to see Roberto Kelly hit a slicing double down the left field line . . . the BASTARD.

Will keep thinking of other cool stuff :)

Can you explain what this means? I have never heard of exploding clouds. Or maybe this is a typo, but I can't think of what it should be?

I have seen a cheetah stalk and kill a gazelle and a lioness and her cubs eating a recently killed buffalo on the Serengeti plains.

I have seen (and heard) the northern lights.

I have seen my nephew successfully ride a two-wheeler without training wheels for the first time. (For an aunt who never expects to have children, being the only person present for a milestone was great.)

I have seen the tallest building in the world from inside and out.

I have seen an elephant peeing on the street while being taken for a walk.

I have seen Sergio Garcia go behind some bushes to pee during the time between his approach shot and his putt.

I have seen Steve Nash receive one of his MVP awards in person in Phoenix.

I have seen female strippers twice, but never seen male strippers, despite the fact that I am female myself and not gay.

I may have used the wrong term but basically what happened is the cloud had too much pressure built up and instead of just drizzling or raining it burst, causing a massive rainfall essentially out of nowhere. It was really neat to see. We were driving at the time and my dad refused to pull over, feeling it would be safer to keep driving. Not sure if he was right or not but we didn't crash so it wouked out alright.

Didn't realize we were putting in awesome people we met. Sweet!

Kevin Nash - got to drive him around Timmons which was fun and a half to say the least. Uber nice guy!

Kurt Angle - boy was he smashed!

Bret Hart - another super nice guy

Lanny Macdonald - sat beside him for an entire Flames game the year after they won the cup and didn't realize it. Flames vs Whalers in Calgary and we got free tickets because we used to billet junior players and one of them made it onto Hartford. Was so into the game that I never realized Lanny was there till the end of the night!
