I prefer living in a rural community than a big city.

I once won an award for penmanship. You'd never know that now.
My lowest score for nine holes is a 38. I followed that with a 51. Somebody shoot me.
If I fished, I would catch and release, except for Salmon. Them I eat.

I like this post. I learned a lot of things I didn't know about you. I was trying to picture you running a 5:15 minute mile. Now that would have been really cool to watch! I also didn't know your head was crushed by a nurse. I'd like to hear more about that story. Turns out you have defied the odds though, you are just so smart and developed :) I'm going to read it again.
ok, I'm back. My mathematical world also fell apart due to fractions, but that was in the 5th grade for me. I didn't get it together until college. The highlight of my educational career was getting a 4.0 in my final math course.
So are you going to travel to the other states you haven't been to when you sell the house?
I got a chuckle out of you having the fastest typing speed. What happened??? :) just teasing!
Wow, that was very cool to read. I too learned some things I didn't know about you. I enjoy that you are much more of a sap in your old age! And I love the Twilight background! I guess we all suck at math thanks to you. I never let my world fall apart about it however. I just admitted defeat and found my love in Business Math! Love you!
