I love this! What a great list of things to learn about someone. I really enjoyed seeing yours Lance and I may steal this one for myself.
I do love this meme–and I think I’ll do it sometime. You are SO accomplished, Lance! My goodness! (Love how your Moscow trip fit into this list, though.)

Or at least to the Lincoln Memorial, for gosh’s sake……
