One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the sunrise in The Negev Desert, Israel: We woke up at 4:30AM in the freezing cold (weird for a desert, right?) to trek to a clear area to watch the sun rize over the distant cliffs in the Desert.

While Watching a Toronto Blue Jays game in Toronto, Canada, my family sat some rows back behind home plate. In the middle of the game, I dropped something beneath my seat. When I bent down to pick it up, a pop fly landed in my seat! Thus, one could say I caught a baseball with my ass.
