In keeping with the tradition of not having an original thought in my head, I'm following Betsy's lead, and beginning my own "100 things about me." Now, where to start....
88. The sailing class I was in as a ten year old, rescued Buddy Ebson's catamaran from the Newport harbor when it's engine failed. Yes, he was wearing a business suit.
89. The very first night we spent in California in our new house, LA was visited by a rare ourbreak of thunderstorms. We all thought the weather was supposed to be *nice* in California. It was actually a very pleasant greeting, being from Minnesota, it felt like home.
90. In the third grade, I was stabbed in the stomach with a #2 pencil. I still have the scar. I never did know if the girl did it on purpose or not.
91. I was married for the first time when I was 19. (!!!!)
92. I was successfully married when I was 38.
93. I experienced a M 6.6 earthquake when I was eight. The Sylmar quake, Feb 9, 1971 6:01 in the morning. I don't really remember much about it. (Yeah, right.) One of the things I remember most is that the Pasadena freeway collapsed. A recently opened, and oft-travelled segment. We had been on it the day before. We were living in Glendora, CA at the time.
94. I graduated college Magna cum Laude from the prestigous National College. I somehow also got listed in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities." Go figure.
95. The first "real" school I attended was Hancock Elementary. It's now a magnet school, what ever the hell that is.
96. By the time I was 14, my family had moved eight times. No, I wasn't a military brat, just the regular kind.
97. I once attended a school in California, where we were known as the "Trojans." And no, it was not UCLA.
98. As a child, I once jumped into a lift in Dayton's. My mother says she could hear me screaming all the way down to lingere.
99. My Mother used to put me on a leash when we went to the beach. She tied it onto my lifejacket. (Actually, it was more of a life "doughnut.")
100. When I was four, I fell from a second floor landing. Good thing I landed on my head.
