If I could be twenty years old again, with all I know now, I'd make a completely different set of mistakes.

I'll probably make a trip to Atlantic Canada this year, not NYC.

Beryl Markham was the 1st woman to fly solo across the North Atlantic, and the first person to do it east-west. She crash-landed in Baleine Cove, C. Breton, near my brother's home. I'd like to see that.

Patricia Arquette: "Ah, there's always a catch."

Nanda Devi, 7,817 m (25,646 ft), is India's 2nd highest summit, and the world's 23rd tallest peak. Willi Unsoeld was so awed by its beauty that he vowed to name his 1st daughter after it. In 1976 he led a climbing team that included his daughter. Nanda Devi Unsoeld (22) died on her namesake peak.

Mount Ama Dablam, Everest Region, Nepal. The main peak is 6,812m (22,349 ft).

Ama Dablam means "Mother's necklace", the hanging glacier thought of as the dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women.

In 1970, Yuichiro Miura became the first person to ski down part of Everest. The film about the feat won the Academy Award for best foreign film.

Thirty-three years later, at 70, he reached the summit. In 2013, at 80, he did it again.

Today he is 92.
