A few things I've done that perhaps TSL Loungers have not:


OK, been sampling a few homebrews tonight so here it goes:

Hitchhiked 3 States when I was 18 after a big concert because my friends and I got separated-no cell phones, (that's a longer story).

Another time, 21 yrs old, wanted to get home from Philly for a family reunion. Ride bailed at last minute, sick. Decided to hitchhike 2 1/2 hours away. First ride was with a Philly cop who was lecturing me until he got called on his radio and unceremoniously dumped me on the Schuylkill Expressway at City Line Ave. Then, believe it or not, Roger Penske gave me a ride to the NE Ext. of Tpke. Then next ride took me to my parents' front door.

Had to hitchhike every day to classes my senior year. Apartment was 5 miles off campus. First weekend, parents bringing me a car, hit by truck, father was in hospital for almost a month. I couldn't burden parents with that info. They never knew.

Something happened on campus my Sophomore year, article in paper, signs in dorms, radio station made commercials about it, and sent a limo to my dorm to bring me to the end-of-semester party as guest of honor. Everyone who was on campus then would remember it today. ;D

Was in the infield at Pocono Raceway and told Paul Newman that his race car was running rich and he agreed with me. (Crazy guy had a conversation with him in the bathroom that Newman retold on the Oprah show.)

Indie-Car didn't allow women in the infield. It was raining and I was completely covered with a poncho except for my eyes. The officials threw me out even though I was arguing that they allowed Janet Guthrie to be there.

Gave Bobby Allison a pre- NASCAR race backrub. Saw him again 2 years ago at a Cracker Barrel in NC.

First year I was married, sewed together a 4-man Frostline Tent because it was cheaper and camped at Mammoth Cave, KY with a tornado 5 miles away. 6 inches of rain. The entire campground was gathered around the tent in the morning. It was the only one that was still standing, rather it was floating, and not a drop of water inside. :)

Saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium.

Was on the set of the film, Striking Distance, on a bridge in Pittsburgh all night with Bruce Willis.

Ran from the ....... never mind that one.. :)

That's about all I dare say.

Plus I have the most embarrassing moment ever. Waiting for a $10 million contest because I would win. Not kidding!
