Fun fact #2

I love to water-ski. (I actually love water sports of all kinds; I'm sure I was a fish in another life.) But I didn't learn how to water-ski until I was in college, on a long-weekend trip to a good friend's cottage. I almost got up on the skis on my very first try! But as I was coming up out of the water, that first time, I realized that my bathing suit--a bikini (bad choice)--was, let's say, exposing way more skin than I was comfortable showing, particularly since I was the only girl in the group. So I had a choice: get up on my very first try, but give the guys a free show; or deliberately fall, and save my dignity. I chose the latter. But I'm still proud that, if it weren't for that wardrobe malfunction, I would have been up and skiing on my very first try.

Here's a fun fact about me - My friend and I went streak-skiing in college, but just once. We put our swimming suit through one arm and got up naked and skied (sp?) for about 15 minutes before we decided to drop in case someone was after us. We went under several low bridges and a few cars honked their horns. This was back in the 70s when streaking was all the rage.

Mike, that is too funny! You are much braver than I am.
