When thinking of adventurous things to do for my Top 40, a friend suggested I go out on a jetski. I had never driven one before, and  actually had never ridden one, so it sounded like a perfect idea.

I reserved it, picked it up Saturday morning at 9 a.m. and we hit the open water. It was easy! And it was really, really fun. We never fell off and we never tipped over. There were no stunts, just cruising at 20-30 miles per hour and crashing through the waves.

Flying across a lake, wind in my hair, sun on my face. It was a superb way to celebrate 40.
