Both sets of my grandparents had over 40 grandchildren, making me one of 85 first cousins. And, 8 of my aunts and uncles never had any children. It surly could have gone over 100.

I am an Army brat, and lived all over with my family. We traveled a lot and my Dad thought it was bad to read in a moving vehicle. To amuse myself, I started reading signs backwards. Subsequently, I can read and pretty much repeat any word you throw at me in reverse. And no, NOT supercalifragilisticexpealidocious....unless I'm looking at it... . Some smarty pants tried that once...hahaha!!

Wifey and I camped on the rim of the Grand Canyon, in the morning hiked to the bottom, spent the night at Bright Angel Lodge on the river, and hiked back up the next day. Wonderful experience.

In my former life, I met Presidents from Reagan to Obama and Richard Nixon, Heads of States, many many sports figures and movie stars. And yes, Paul Newman did have very blue eyes!! Charleston Heston had broad shoulders. Christopher Reeves was gorgeous! Tom Cruise was short. Joan Rivers and Nancy Reagan are very tiny.

Two memorable occasions come to mind-

Patrick Ewing was our intern for two summers when he was a student at Georgetown. He used to tease me that I came to his waist. I'lll never forget the day he held a newborn baby in the palm of one of his hands. His hands were huge! Or, the day we walked to the Library of Congress and people kept their cars running in the middle of the road to get his autograph!! Yikes!

On another day a secret service agent came into my office asking for directions. i told him I would have to show him. Hillary Clinton (a Senator then) stood outside the door. I asked her if she was ok!!! What can I say, she looked really tired. If looks could kill, I wouldn't be here!! I told that story to my former boss when I was in TV in May!! Good thing I'm retired!!

Talking

I used to make my mother laugh by simply wiggling my nose like a rabbit... well, at least I did it up until the point where she started keeping me locked in a cage and feeding me nothing but carrots and lettuce!

New people that we meet here in TV and friends up north wonder if we golf here in TV. The best answer we give is 'We own golf clubs !!!'
