I am sorry that you had a bad scare with the swimming- I love to swim and am quite good at it. I disobeyed my Dad when I was about 3 years old- I swam out into deep water (at Onset Bay at the base of CApe Cod in Massachusetts, USA)- the water was almost as deep as he was tall- and he reached over and removed my Donald Duck tube! And I have been swimming ever since....took a few lessons, lifesaving course, and placed on a swim team. Now, it is one of the few exercises left to me. I rode the 1st woman's 10 speed bike in Chicago - so unusual that I could leave it unchained and walk away from it to shop and browse in the Old Town area- could NOT do that today. <BR/>On your desire to see New York...might I put in a pitch for Chicago- Chicago is a much more beautiful city than New York. And I think that the people here are a lot friendlier, too. I grew up on the east coast and we often visited New York City because we had family there, but, sorry New Yorkers- Chicago is a much better place to live and work. And that is my 2 cents worth....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24978502.post-68401109286272083422008-08-07T04:22:00.000+02:002008-08-07T04:22:00.000+02:00That was great Marcia.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that we have an incredible amount of things in common.<BR/><BR/>I also was always first in my classes, very good at taking tests and remembering facts, but very lazy about studying and always cramming for exams at the last possible minute...only to get the top grade in the class.<BR/><BR/>I was also in advanced math, and also hated PE (physical education) so much that I'd resort to things like faking sick or injury. Shame!<BR/><BR/>I also took ballet and other forms of dance from a very early age, then stopped completely, then started again primarily with salsa.<BR/><BR/>I also met my future husband at school, but this we already knew we had in common.<BR/><BR/>I have no patience for yoga, pilates, etc. and am also always front and center doing the choreography with the teacher.<BR/><BR/>I'm no big fan of swimming and also hate bike riding. I can technically do it, but am very bad and don't enjoy it. No spinning, either.<BR/><BR/>I am horrible at parallel parking and will drive a mile out of my way just to avoid having to do it.<BR/><BR/>This was great fun. I'm inspired to do my own!Ali Ambrosiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521627345210424042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24978502.post-7111305989606923682007-06-08T16:28:00.000+02:002007-06-08T16:28:00.000+02:00My husband spent a lot of his mission in Port Elis...My husband spent a lot of his mission in Port Elisabeth.

And I also decided to change subjects in school in the middle of a school year (except my fickleness happened in Std 9 in the third term, and I changed three major subjects! - maybe we also have the 3's in common too?); was also prefect and so much more! I'm a stickler for following the rules too... who'da thunk I'd find another twisted sista right here in good ol' SA?Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177886204147122979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24978502.post-21650497162648738172007-05-31T14:57:00.000+02:002007-05-31T14:57:00.000+02:00Hey Char - I know what you mean.
