Huge unforced error this morning when I checked on my son and woke him up 90 minutes earlier than normal.
My hopeful answer is... I did once and will again someday? In 1992, we received overseas orders and sold our '73 pea-green VW transporter to a fellow Dukie (for $1) who took it to Colorado to experience Hors Catégorie climbs through the joys of reduction gears.
A colleague presented that little model to me as a departure gift back in '98. It continues to rate shelf space in my office - which speaks to the sentimentality with which I recall our professional/personal relationship. As a somewhat cool coda to the last 24 hours - your question caused me to fondly reflect on my life's experiences and I tracked the gent down and just reconnected on LinkedIn. His reaction to seeing his handiwork, still on display after 23 years, was a gift to us both.
So thank you YBT! Wittingly or unwittingly, you've done your good deed for the day. Semper grateful.

I have been invited to a "Women of Aycock" reunion in Blowing Rock next April. I intend to go if I possibly can. You have been warned.

And the temperature should be somewhere between 11 degrees and 72. So that makes packing easy.
Geez, guys, where do you think I live? The high was 60 degrees on Tuesday. It's 90 today. I remember that one day, although it's been a few years, where it was 25 degrees during my morning commute and in the high 70s by the time I went home. Everywhere I have ever lived, people make the joke, 'If you don't like the weather, wait a minute", in New England, it's a true statement.

My first trip to San Francisco, in July, I couldn't understand why everyone wore tank tops with fleece jackets tied around their waists. then the wind shifted and starting coming off the Pacific. I got it.
