ninevirtuesYou know, there's a set of Improbable Faire Activities, a set of Improbable Athletic Activities, and a set of Improbable Life Activities-- which last, sadly, is smaller than you might suppose. Taken together, they make ten things I bet you've never done.
10) Ridden a pennyfarthing (old fashioned big-wheel-in-the-front bicycle) wearing full Victorians
9) Ridden a unicycle while wearing full Elizabethans
8) Served a queen. Wait, make that multiple different queens.
7) Rounded the bases of an Elizabethan baseball game (Rounders) as part of a Queen's entourage (hey, a queen NEVER goes ANYWHERE, even around the bases, without four or five gentlemen to guard her and an equal number of ladies in waiting to fetch and carry. Right?)
6) Explained how (and, more importantly, how NOT) to use and carry a pike
5) Put out someone who set himself on fire while firing a black powder rifle
4) Started graduate school in physical therapy WITHOUT having taken undergrad anatomy or physiology first. (I do not recommend trying this.)
3) Swam across the San Francisco Bay, from Alcatraz to the shore.
2) Completed a half ironman while hurt, so I had to stop every 20 minutes of running and squat for a minute to reset my pelvis so I could continue. (I do not recommend trying this either.)
1) Tried to change horses in midstream. (No Mom, neither of us got hurt trying that. Kristin got wet, though.)
