Cycling to Waterton in one day.
Acing the Physics 30 final.
Shutting out 3 friends in drunken Trivial Pursuit last summer. This didn't impress the ladies nearly as much as I thought it should.

Doing the eulogy at my best friend's funeral (car accident) without breaking down.

Graduating BOTC (Basic Officer Training) (Navy) in Chilliwack, BC.

Raising my kids without their 'biological' father could give a crap about either of them- and finding and marrying a man who treats them as if they are his own.

Guys, having kids isn't an achievement. Raising good people is, though.

As for my greatest achievement, finishing a degree in Engineering is probably the most important thing I have ever done in my life.

Having sex IS an achievement. The kids are more like the trophy afterwards proving that you did it.

Unlocking every secret in Super Mario 3.

Other than that, being a dad and making good on my parents wish when we came to Canada to rise up out of poverty and make something of myself.

But really, it's all about Mario.

Probably getting a job in the field of my choosing two months after grad school ended. At the time, homelessness seemed more likely.

I should probably say my two kids but that's an old hat.

Years ago I would bounce every now and then with a buddy or two of mine. Every year we would work the toys for tots stripathon at the Yellowhead Inn in Edmonton (something like that). It was a charity event and usually it was very cool and tame. But this one year, and I am not exactly sure how, an epic brawl broke out. The fights themselves probably lasted a good 10 or 15 minutes and probably another 30 or 40 minutes to get everybody out and to start letting people back in after we cleaned up. The owner and the girls were pretty grateful of what we had done with no major injuries or broken furniture that we had carte blanche for the rest of the day/night and were treated very very well. It turned into the craziest party that I will not elaborate on but it did lead to my one and only time with multiple girls at once. The way I figure it the chance of me having another kid far out weigh the chance of me having another night like that.

Kids and work? Blah!

I have trouble remembering my own phone number, but I still remember my dad's calling card number from 1991 when my mom took us to Disneyland.

I'm like that with friend's phone numbers from when I was a kid. Almost everyone I've met after getting a cell phone I remember as; Contacts > A > Adam > Send.

And yet, to this day I can remember childhood friends home phone numbers from calling from house phone to house phone back in the day.

Did you actually build it or pay a builder?
Just one of my pet peeves. Congratulations either way

and I have nothing else to add.

Except the marathons or fractional marathons comment was awesome as were a few others. Good job CP!
