Similar to Missypie, I performed at Carnegie Hall in June 1990 with my Sweet Adelines chorus. It was truly thrilling!

I spent 9 months tracking down our stolen 1967 Austin Healey and then stood on a street corner in NYC posing as a buyer, while my husband sat in the undercover van with the crime squad.

I also found his friends Healey that had been stolen from his garage on a flat bed a year prier and we got that back too. No I'm not a detective but when I found out that this had been going on for years and how they operated I said no way are they getting away with our car. lol I couldn't even drive the darn thing, it was the principle.

Default I have a huge collection of movie ticket stubs.

I see numbers. Not dead people though. And, I really liked Draft Day and Non-Stop for their numbers as well as their plot, actors, etc. I have liked watching movies carefully since Outbreak at the Petaluma Theater on 3-12-1995.

I used to volunteer at a food bank when we lived in Colorado. I helped set up a shopping model for clients rather than being handed a box of food. It was a huge food bank and it brought me such joy. Very physical work. It was such a great place that Lester Holt from NBC did a story there on situational poverty, versus generational poverty. I met him and have a picture with him and the staff at the food bank. Then we moved to the Chicago area. I miss that place.....

My grandmother was the first woman in her area to drive a car. She was a midwife. She was amazing.
