#55 and #40
#55 - Go to a karaoke night and sing a song (I can be drunk and I don't have to do it solo)Completed - Thursday, May 25, 2006. Colleen, her friend from work and I all went to this American Idol wannabe contest. Her friend was really good and came in third, but then they opened up the stage to anyone who wanted to do karaoke. Colleen and I had never done it before, and we'd had enough beer that it seemed like a good idea. So the three of us grabbed some random guy and sang Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow's, "Picture." Luckily for Coll and I, her friend was much better than us and drowned us out, and the guy was really good for the male part. But I did it.
I also ran another 5K on Sunday, May 28, with a finishing time of 32:10, good enough for 3rd in my age bracket (it was a 5K and a 10K race and the good runners ran the 10K). I'm doing another this weekend, too. I will get up to the 10K, for sure.
Oh and also #40 - Visit at least five new states. I'm in Iowa right now. The land of cornfields and nothing else. It's a new state to add to my list. Check.
