In 1978 I took my children to Disneyworld. It was summertime, hot and humid, which left us all sweaty and diminished our energy and enthusiasm.

I went to high school with one of his sisters even if I am not sure which one. He went to high school with my younger brother even if Greg LeMond was seldom around. Training and other stuff, I imagine.
Like how he stood up to Lance Armstrong when it was not at all popular to do so.
I never actually met him while we lived in Reno but did sit next to his sister in at least one class even if again I am not sure which one. I mean which sister as I seem to recall her going by a different name than the ones listed on Wikipedia-- Kathy and Karen.
Golfer Patti Sheehan also graduated from Earl Wooster High School but was a few years ahead of me. Patty Sheehan - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patty_Sheehan)
I was supposed to be Class of 1977 but took some correspondence classes to get out of high school in three years. So, I am Class of 1976 Earl Wooster High School.

I especially enjoyed her in "About Schmidt" and "Misery". She played a great obese, middle aged - old woman!

I had left my heart in San Francisco to a lady I went to law school with who is now a HUGE immigration lawyer there. Married and probably with kids. Have not seen her though since 1989 and was worried about how I would explain my life since 1989 at the 30th year law school re-union they had a few months ago for the U of MN Law School in Minneapolis. She was one of the people who managed the 30th Re-Union.
Still think of this woman a lot. She had been a friend of sorts in law school. She was incredibly smart, sophisticated and funny. I had talked with her about a lot of stuff while we were both in Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners.

Well it was not "snail mail" back then! The British post office was revered for its efficiency of delivery.
He certainly did a lot for well thought out and needed education reforms as well.

They have had a few Alfred Hitchcock Film Festivals in the Villages since we moved here in June of 2005. Three I think. I missed one of them as I was house and dog sitting in Palm Harbor, FL. Had started working for a couple around 1998 and continued to go back there every so often until 2010 or so.
One of these Hitchcock festivals was either a few months ago or in late 2018. I probably wrote about it on TOTV. It is kind of my habit to post anything on TOTV.

She was beyond amazing!
One of my granddaughters is an incredible shot and can split a playing card on edge at ten yards with a pistol.

A replica of the 1903 airplane is on display in Kitty Hawk, NC at the visitor center. The real thing is at the National Air and Pace Museum in DC. I have been to see both and each time felt moved. What an incredible feat! It changed the world.
David McCullough’s book, “The Wright Brothers” is a wonderful read.
