45. Ever had a near death experience? When I was kayaking at Lake Peten. The kayak took on water; the wind started blowing, and the next thing I know I am in the middle of the lake with my daughter with an overturned kayak. One of the paddles sank like a rock. I pushed Hannah onto the overturned Kayak. I knew there was no way I was going to join her up there. I kicked off everything that could weigh me down, made sure she had my camera (it was waterproof), and to calm her down (she was hysterical) I told her that her boyfriend was an asshole. Nothing shuts her up faster than hearing that. It was instantaneous, “What do you mean Robert is an asshole? After everything he has done for you.” Then she realized the game I was playing and she made sure I knew she loved me. She was so encouraging. “I love you mom, don’t die.” The first thing I thought of when I hit the water was Bill Cosby. “How long can you tread water, Noah?” I spent 45 minutes in the water but we made it to shore. I never knew I could swim that long. Not bad for an overweight smoker, huh?

3)Did you know that Gnocchi is a dumpling made of leftover mashed potatoes, eggs and flour...think the Italian version of a Scandanavian potato dumpling. Usually they are served with Italian sauces over them. Peasant food that is a real delight to the palate.

13) Sure you can...never too old for a change. You could become Lola the gal that travels with her Mom (let's say Lana) and her dog Lula. Why not?

24) I love my crazy familty too.

31) Open windows? Where's the central air button?

33) I forgot to include the old Doris Day movies and all the others of that time and genre. I so love them. Claudette Cobert was one of my favorite actresses and Loretta Young.

36) SWEATS? OmGosh didn't you say it's 92 degrees...hell I'd be naked.

39) Cat Stevens older song are sopme of my very favorites. That's music from the day when I was called the "Special K"...Where did those days go?

45) this would be my very worst nightmare. Hell I can't even float much less tread the water for 45 minutes.

59) OUCH!!! Rocks for a mattress. You are a tuffy, girl.
