A Meme

I'm just heading out the door this morning to my appointment with the Heart Clinic at the hospital to hopefully get the date for my surgery but I thought I'd throw this post up. We are expecting another blizzard later this afternoon with 25 cm expected. Hopefully we get all finished and home before it starts. Meanwhile there is this Meme and feel free to do it.

This comes from Ellas Devil and I thought I'd give it a try.


"OK so this is the deal, this is a really easy meme with minimal typing from you. Simply copy and paste the list below into your blog and bold the things you have done in your lifetime and that is it.

Wow! I'm impressed! You flew an airplane?

And here I thought no one actually reads these things...yes I did fly an airplane a little 2 seater Cessna but not on my own. I was with a licensed pilot and I was taking lessons. He of course had controls as well but I did a bit on my own and it was awesome. I was going to take more lessons but raising a child didn't leave enough disposable income to do so. Fun while it lasted though...ciao
