One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A humpback whale breached not 30 feet from the whale watching tour I was on in Maui a couple of years ago.
The world below, every time I get on a plane (and whoever says flying is boring is already dead inside, although I agree the process of getting to the plane sucks).
I made glow-in-the-dark E.coli bacteria a couple of months ago.
My nephews are amazing. And my sister. And most people, come to that.
