First French kiss

First time getting on the Internet (year... and what did you do on it)

maybe 6-7 years ago--for emailing...

your first celebrity sighting

Other then a concert or ballgame of some sort, I don't think I've ever actually seen a real celebrity.
My Aunt, Uncle and cousins lived two houses down from George Brett during my whole childhood Just a mile from Royals stadium...and right by Worlds of Fun. He was the NICEST guy...and since I LOVE TO PLAY BALL, he was my hero. He always took the time to throw the ball around with me and my cousins.

Miss Blues, Brett was perhaps my favorite player of all-time, and I have written at length about him..A throwback kinda guy--like few others who've ever played the game..

your first trip to an amusement park

I would LOVE to read what you have written. He's a great guy and most likely the very reason I became such a baseball nut. I went to soooooo many of the Royal games, I only wish I had been a little older so that I would have appreciated it more.

My cousin was going through an old crate and found all our old 'outside' toys and baseball stuff. Bet there are plenty of mitts and gloves that he 'donated' to us when we were just neighborhood kids playin' ball.

Sheesh, can't remember what age, but I started going to Worlds of Fun since I was tall enough to get in...and way before then probably. Spent a zillion hours there as a kid.

Has a ride ever made you get sick in public?

First throw up on a fairground ride was on a Waltzer ride <- Video

When did you first go to a wedding?

probably when I was 11--to my aunt's..

your first credit card

It was a BankAmericard (now VISA) with a $200 limit when I was a college senior. The thought of running up a $200 balance would give me nightmares.

Your first time swimming

probably ate age 4-5 in a neighbor's pool

your first pair of "cool" sneakers

I remember comparing sneakers at about age 4. One friend had some P. F. Flyers. The other had a pair of Converse. And I had the Keds.

a small, beach town on the east coast of Florida..

First time on a horses/donkey's or similar back?

your first real BAD date

I was barely 20 when, for reasons I still can't fathom, a friend set me up on a date with this utter and complete drip with whom I had absolutely nothing in common beyond (I think) a species... it was so bad that when I broke a tooth on my dinner (at KFC) the first thing that went through my head (besides the blinding bolt of intense pain) was "Ah! Now I can go home without being rude!"


Your first job interview?

Wow--maybe for a part-time job in a hospital..can barely remember it..

your first REALLY bad case of sunburn
