7 things I can do:

7 people I want to do this:
* Becca already tagged a bunch of people, so I’ll just say anyone who wants to. Katie will probably do it. Laurie or Cassie? Or Carter, Christina, or Chris, though I’m not sure many of them are the meme type.

I want to climb Kilamanjaro too but that requires 1) getting in much better shape and 2) saving up money to pay for it.

Pumas!
I’ll come to Africa with you. You can climb above the “death zone” and I’ll go see Victoria Falls (on my list).
