One and Done
I have a list of things I’ve done once and have no desire to do ever again. I don’t plan to recreate my hike to the top of Mt Fuji for example. Work on an archeological dig in the summer in Louisiana with a boss who was a total jerk would be another example of One and Done. Golf. So done. The only time I ever played was at the Princeville course in Hawaii. If that spectacular wasn’t enough to keep me interested I’m done. File Jazzercize, Zumba and any fitness class that involves shaking my booty and jazz hands also under One and Done. My first job was as a cashier at Hardee’s. Please God let me never have to work someplace ever again where I have to feel grease penetrating every pore and smell beef cooking for hours at a time. Hoping my fast food career is One and Done also. Skeet shooting and any holding of a gun is totally Done. Sauerkraut, Chinese moon cakes, Vegemite, quail eggs, okra and kimchi would lead the food category of One and Done. So let’s hear them. I want to hear some of your One and Dones. Leave ’em in the comment section.
yes. it's my real name. 
Snow skiing, water skiing, any kind of skiing, biking 25 miles on the Potomac River Trail, rock climbing in Flagstaff, Arizona, and eating oysters Rockefeller.

Fishing! Catch-and-release in Naples during a corporate function…I made sure I didn’t catch anything. Would rather have a scuba tank on my back and be near the reef, admiring them, instead.

Eating frog legs, marrying a ball player, biking 25 miles – my seat hurt for a week!, sailing on the ocean – so seasick I wanted to die, buy a $500 dress to attend a fancy wedding, plan to significantly subsidize my income with competition quilting prize money!

Just so you know, we are a family of long distance cyclists. Once you “break in” you seat, you never have that discomfort again. I’ve biked 108 miles in a day to celebrate my 50th and I had no pain in the seat. Having a good saddle also makes a world of difference.

I always say I will try anything once but I don’t have any desire to get back on the back of motorcycle, hold a gun, or eat uni ever again. None of those made my life any better.

Hmmm….work in a call center for long distance truckers (don’t tell my wife where I am ), wait on tables in a diner, walk 20 mi a day for 3 days, eat calamari or oysters, tent camp, deep tissue massage……

The Kentucky Derby. The infield with 10s of thousands of drunk “fans” remains, hands down, the most unpleasant sporting event I have ever attended.

The whole casino thing. Financing a new car. Salon manicure. What an interesting question!

Riding any of those amusement park rides that drop you from a great height? Yeah, never again. Also: roller blading; horseback riding; working in a bookstore (which I thought would be a dream job, but…not for me); cross-stitch; juicing celery. Definitely juicing celery.

What, no more Vegemite? Have you tried it on toast with cheese, or with avocado? And it’s so good for hangovers…it’s really worth another try 😉
