(that is, "Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't (For Sufficiently Small Values of 'You')".)

1. ridden a bicycle while carrying a French horn in one hand
   
2. choreographed my proposal of marriage in such a way that a third party did most of the talking
   
3. performed a second take of a solo performance at the end of a 6th-grade talent show (after having utterly screwed up the first take, earlier that evening)
   
4. received a Bachelor of Arts (not Science!) in mathematics and computer science
   
5. observed, in person, the birth of a child via Caesarian section
   
6. run down a hallway with a woman slung over either shoulder
   
7. had a policeman's baton bounce off my music stand during a musical performance
   
8. bought a vacuum-tube electronic organ from a thrift store
   
9. sung every voice part from Soprano I through Bass III (yes, that's "three") _after_ my voice changed (and everything from Sop I through Tenor I before)
   
10. asked by a director (who had never met me) to audition for the part of God

Yes, but do you have a "natural blend?"

This near mythical beast is identified by the fact that you can slide smoothly over the transition between your registers. No crack, no pop, no break. Nothing. Just smooth and silky from, say, Bass clef middle line D up to the A above male range. ;)

Yes, I do. Lots of jazz choir helps with that. (There are styles of music, and ranges, in which maintaining this smooth transition is difficult for me...but a smooth slide is easy.)
