You know those “things to do” on a Life or Bucket List that you never really thought of until AFTER the event or moment happened?
Yeah, that’s my “Getting an item autographed by Stan Lee in person”… and that happened this past Sunday. I’m not sure how I could have missed adding this life event to my list, but it was there, I assure you.
This guy (pictured above),... 
No, that's not the number of items to complete on my personal bucket list (although, how awesome of a challenge would that be?). THAT is the basis of BikePGH's goal of getting 2,012 members to sign up by 2012. Two months left... and less than 300 members to go. {open to read MORE} 
During the boyfriend's stay-cation a couple weeks ago, we enjoyed a perfectly-sunny (and low on the humidity) day at the water park: SANDCASTLE (just a short 15-minute drive outside the city).
I was mostly interested in sitting on a tube in the lazy river all day. The boyfriend, however, was more psyched about doing the super slides. You know, the ones that I have sworn off since I was a kid watching in awe (and observing the serious cases of boob slippage and wedgies). And an aside: I HATE waterslides without using a tube or mat of some sort.
Regardless: enter the Lightning Express -- EXTREME BODY SLIDE. 
Happy Friday, Pursuit-ers! How yinz doin? Getting out much and enjoying this great summer? Will I see any of you at the Toonseum Blogger Blast II tonight? Drink any good beers lately?
Ahem…
When living in Cleveland, I created a List of 43 Things, and it was a really cool experience to find new, adventurous things in a city that I (thought I) already knew very well. And yes, there are several things... 
I was waiting for a package to arrive from Amazon. And it was delivered yesterday. But I also received THIS BOOK: A Lion in the Bedroom by Pat Cavendish O' Neill. A book that I had on my wish list for some time. It's out of print, and I haven't been able to find a copy for less than $80. But here was the book. 
It sounds silly, right? That I would have: Find the perfect vintage navy wool coat of apparently, my imagination on my Kick the Bucket List. But I have been looking for YEARS — everything has been too large or too furry or too damaged. Or not the perfect shade of blue. Or definitely NOT for appropriate for midwestern winters. Truly, I gave up and wasn’t regularly checking the vintage shops or... 
We will return to your regularly scheduled TUESDAY next week. Because New Year’s Day’s Polar Bear Plunge rendered any and all man parts… ahem, invisible.
Remember how a few years ago I told you that I wanted to jump in a body of water on New Year’s Day to be part of a local polar bear plunge? No? It’s here.
Well… this year, being in a city that promotes this crazy-ass... 
This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
