We're playing by Senate rules, which means one entry per state, regardless of size. The other stipulation is that the activity or experience must have been something I've never done before. So, staying awake for 24 straight hours in Vegas or strolling down the Cliff Walk in Newport or just about anything in New York City are off the list. Several activities on this list I will actually complete by the end of the month are marked with an asterisk.
