I Challenge you to write yours....

Haven't blogged in a while, but thought it might be fun to do this. Try summing up your life in 6 words. I've got nothing yet - but I want to hear yours. Below is the excerpt from a magazine, and some exapmples.

In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway bet ten dollars that he could write a complete story in just six words. He wrote: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn." He won the bet. Now an online magazine is asking its readers to sum up their own lives in just six words.
