As far as commenting on them, here are a few:

1. Go Ziplining:  I've done tons of crazy adrenaline-rush activities, but still haven't managed this one.  I wanted to go in November, 2008 when we were in Hawaii...  But they didn't want a pregnant lady throwing herself off cliffs for some reason.  *sigh*

2. Forgive my father:  He's an alcoholic, workaholic, adulterer and absentee-father.  Also, a terribly interesting, intelligent and gentle man.  I'm working on it. 

3.  Visit Montreal/Halifax/Ottawa:  I've never been east of Saskachewan (within Canada).  I'm told it's pretty amazing.

So... that's me, folks.
