YOU DON'T get nervous before doctor appointments?????? Since when?? And I was surprised about your worst injury --- I had the 13 stitch eyebrow injury goin in my mind and as for your favorite sports team, let's see what was it you said the other day about laughing so hard you sounded like a braying donkey..... Glad you're still keeping the family tradition alive with your favorite desserts! Batch of dream bars sounds good right about now.
The whole nervousness thing pretty much went away in the summer of 99. Overload pretty much deadened me to doctor nervousness.
The stitches in the eyebrow weren't as long lasting or as serious as the broken arm. My pride was wounded more than my face was.
"Reasonably quiet"...
Okay, I guess. ;-)
Is that a good thing? Especially on this blog?
Chris must be a girl. He loves satin sheets.
Love the list Mark. Just a little but oh so important reminder - the celestial way to spell Fay is with no 'e'....
