Which one of you was flying the plane? :)
The five year old, of course. Do you think I'd let a baby fly the plane?
That is quite a list. It makes me want to come up with my own.
Well I remember all but 9 and 10, so I guess that isn't too bad. I think I kind of vaguely remember something about number 10, but the details aren't very clear.
OR Mom
Mom,#9 was when Son Do's uncle (whose name I can't remember--and whose nephew's name I don't think I spelled right) had an exhibit at the Salem library and borrowed the charcoal drawing he did of me that one night. I think K and S's portraits were on display too.
#10 was freshman year in high school, during a debate tournament at OSU.
So, so fun to read. I think the cannery one needs an explanation, because it sounds like a fun story.
BTW, I am stealing this meme.
It was Tien Phan who did the artwork. I also want to hear about the cannery experience, though. And I actually have run a car completely out of oil, too. You'll have to come up with another one, I guess!

Let's see, a substitute item for running the car out of oil . . . I know! I had a titanium dental drill bit break off in my mouth during a root canal and become embedded in my gum. It's still there.
OK, I can't say I have titanium in my mouth. You win. Still waiting on the cannery story, though!
