Vacations are hard. Growing up, our vacations were going to Grandparents' place in Fox Lake, WI. As an adult, 'vacations' are Letterhead meets and dog shows.
1. I played flute in the Robbinsdale City Marching band - one year we marched in Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and the Sun Bowl parade in El Paso.
2. My best friend and I drove from MN to Leesburg, VA in 1991 for the 1st AKC Chinese Crested Nationals.

3. My only ride in an ambulance I don't remember. They wondered if I had a stroke (migraine, loss of use of one side of my body, incoherent), and the ER Drs told my family to come back and let them know what I was finally diagnosed with. My spinal tap was abnormal, they figured it was Encephalitis, but was never really sure.
4. I have a HORRENDOUS memory... I rely on other people, photos, and storied people have told me that I have memorized. I hate it, as I can't remember childhood, my daughter when she was young, or any other special moments, etc. When in sign school (and my last job), I took insanely detailed notes - which other people would copy, since they were so much better than theirs!
Probably a good thing I hooked up with Bruce, cuz he never forgets anything...!

1. I love jazz music, although most people only hear rock and roll when I'm working. Jazz is for the quieter moments. Love playing drums to it more.
2. Although I usually look a little frayed at the edges, I am pretty organized. I know how long it takes me to do a project and what it involves. I may do things "from the hip" well, but I'd much rather get a game plan together before I start.
3. I love being out on the ocean and taking the wheel on a boat.
4. I often take the time to look up. A colorful sunset, clear blue sky or star filled night can still make a bad day better and reminds me that my problems are never THAT big.
