I decorated the Honda roller coaster Rose parade float back in California in the '80s. It was in a big Warehouse a gay friend from a Christian group invited me and boy was it special.
Being able to audit semiconductor boundaries around the world especially in Asia one in Germany that was an IBM facility I went to Korea many times Japan many times our Singapore factory and Thailand for sub-assembly.
On the way back I would leave Friday evening and land in Hawaii on Friday morning and have a 3-day weekend!
Ice skating doing those jumps and axles was like flying! Now that I've had my left hip surgery I can no longer do jumps and my balance is off being 73 but nothing can describe ice skating in this way until you've actually done it and because it's a limited lifetime thing it's very precious, never to be forgotten always to be treasured...
Swimming especially when you were not able to swim until you were in your twenties because of being smothered by your brother's pillows you even went to swimming classes and were constantly afraid of drowning until the 6th grade boy taught you how to swim and gain confidence jumping off the bottom of the pool now I swim at least twice a week and it's one of the most free-floating experiences anyone can have I hope everyone gets a chance to do that!
When I was in college I had the unique experience of driving the first Zamboni that the owner had actually driven from California as he bought it used what an experience that few people get to do it is one of the three things people like to see besides a rippling stream and crackling fireplace! (I also taught ice skating to Little children probably one of the motivations to stay in education to be a teacher at least part of my life)
