Yes, a few times. When I was a child (in the 60s) my father had a job that entitled us to fly First Class, and 10 years ago I volunteered to be bumped from a flight and was put in Business on the next flight.
Have you ever climbed a mountain, even just part of the way?
Yes, the Tooth of Time in northern New Mexico (Tooth of Time - Wikipedia). It was no fun when my Scout troop ran out of water along the way.
Have you ever gone canoeing for more than ten miles?
No, except in large rafts during guided tours.
Have you ever(intentionally) been nude in public? (for you young’ns, it was called streaking and was a thing for a brief moment)
Oh yes. I’ve been on “swimsuit optional” beaches where I felt more comfortable taking off my suit than being the only one wearing a suit. I’ve also showered in a camping shower and had my towel/curtain blow away!
Have you ever had major surgery?
If being under a general anaesthetic counts, then yes. I underwent a tonsillectomy when I was about seven years old.
Have you ever golfed more than 18 holes in a day?
No, I’ve never even golfed nine holes on a single day, but my grandmother was quite a skilled golfer.
Have you ever been at a Trump-owned property?
No, not to the best of my knowledge, definitely nothing with his name on it.
Have you ever run a competitive race of any type (track, 5K, marathon, etc.)
Yes, several in my youth - never won, though.
Have you ever played baseball for money (either for pay or with a bet riding on it)?
No, but I worked as a softball umpire one summer.
Have you ever fried an ant with a magnifying glass?
No, nor have a pulled the legs off spiders.
Have you ever appeared on stage in front of an audience?
Yes, many times. I’ve guested with bands when they’ve asked me to play, and I still do community theatre.
Have you ever attended the midnight showing of a cult movie?
Yep, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Over 20 times, and I always brought the props. And sang along.
Have you ever gone out on a blind date?
Yes. They aren’t generally a pleasure.
Have you ever been lost in a country where you don’t speak the language?
Oh yeah. Comes with living overseas. Probably the most lost was in Japan near Yokohama.
Have you ever been chased by a moose? I have.
No, but I got a lot closer to a bear once than I wanted to.
Have you ever cursed at a Canada goose?
I am surprised I can say ‘Yes’. There is group kept at a pond near the school where I volunteer. They don’t fly because (put your hands on your ears, Cecil) their wings are clipped. So they poop allover the parking lot. It is very disgusting. It is stinkier than cat poop and oh so gooey on your shoes. I have actually thrown a pair of shoes away and drove home barefoot.
Have you ever talked on a Ham radio?
Yes. There was a group of Ham enthusiasts at a fair I attended. They said that they could get a message anywhere in the world, even if they had to relay it. So I sent greetings to my sister, who was living halfway around the world, in Perth, Australia.
A couple of days later, I got a phone call from my sister. Yes, starting from Toronto, the Ham enthusiasts elsewhere in the world had relayed my message, and she got it.
Have you ever ridden a San Francisco cable car?
Missed the edit window. Just to clarify, a local Ham operator in Perth picked up my message, and telephoned my sister on a local call to convey it. Sis is not a Ham operator.
To continue: Have you ever ridden a San Francisco cable car?
Many times. I used to go to SFO every year for a construction conference.
Have you ever been above the Arctic Circle?
Nope, closest I ever got was the airport in Anchorage for a layover
Have you ever written anything that’s been published?
