This has been fun reading, so I'll give it a try ....
1. I went skydiving when I was 40 .... something on my bucket list before I had a bucket list. Tethered by a jump line to the plane made pulling the parachute easy ... until I somehow got tangled in the parachute lines. Finally got untangled but broke both my wrists. That was my fifth and last jump.
2. I was fired from my job - special education teacher in a small rural school district - for talking about my skydiving escapade. Actually my contract was not renewed.
3. I worked my way through college in my 30's - took 7 years to achieve my BA; and only 5 years for my MA. All in education.
4. I've moved to a different house about every 10 years.
5. I have aunts and uncles that are about the same age as myself, both grandparents had second families the same time my parents were having children. It's been hard to know who's a cousin and who's an aunt or uncle.
