Reply #89: My mother pushed me out of the car when I was 2 1/2 [View All]

That's what I tell her now. But, I was the curious one who opened the door at 35mph on a gravel road.

1. Got 14 stitches in the back of my head from the fall. My poor mom. Think how she must have felt as I went out the door.

2. Once I was dead.

3. I started college as a phys ed major and journalism minor and wound up with a degree in math.

4. I flunked out of college twice and took my second masters with a 4.0

5. My last three cars had 267,000, 229,000 and 356,000 miles. My current car has 245,000 miles and I want 400,00 this time.

6. I was a train spotter in England when I was 15 and living in Oxford.

7. Took me four hours on a park bench to get up enough nerve to kiss my first girl friend - I was really very shy.

8. I switched from smoking, drinking and being a meat eater to being a non-smoker and vegan in literally a heart beat (or lack thereof). I still enjoy a good cabernet every once in a while.

9. I was a successful, super type A CEO at 39, crashing and burning by 43.

10. I really enjoy the warmth and friendliness of the Lounge, how its people support others and accept you without judgment.

10+1 I run 30 miles a week.

10+2 I served on active duty for the Navy in Arlington VA; watched Nixon's call-up of 5,000 airborne from Fort Bragg arrive for one of the big peace demonstrations.
