26. In high school, I only completed one of the many college applications I started. Thank God, I got in! (Go Bears!)
27. When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I chased down Calvin Hill in the DFW airport so I could shake his hand.
28. I’ve never been to
New York, but I have been to Singapore, Malaysia, La Bella Sicilia, Toscana e Roma (plus the obligatory trips to Baja California).
29. I believe life begins the moment that sperm hits the egg. This makes for some heated arguments about in vitro fertilization, etc.
30. I have a “reverse” café au lait spot on my right calf – a white spot that shows up when I get tan.
31. When I was a kid, I was allergic to eggs, milk, beef, and citrus fruit (my poor mom!).
32. As a kid, I had a really cool Batgirl costume that my mom made for me.
33. I had blonde hair and blue eyes when I was born.
34. I can’t light paper matches.
35. I can’t drive a stick-shift car.
36. I fell off a raft in a country club pool when I was 7 and nearly drowned. My mom had to peel me off the bottom of the pool. Before that time, I was on a swim team. After that incident, I had to re-learn how to swim and was never the same again.
37. For several years, I attended the same private school that “Bobby Brady” (Michael Lookinland) did. When he was in 12th grade, I was in 8th grade.
38. When I was in 7th grade, I wet my pants on the sidewalk in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles (near UCLA) on a school field trip, simply b/c I was too embarrassed to ask where the bathroom was.
39. When I was 3, I was bitten in the face by a Pekingese.
