I went to Disney World with a group of friends in 1973, for Spring Break…haven’t been there since…

Have you ever replaced a broke window?
 
No…we’re due for new carpet soon, and maybe I’ll learn…

Have you ever been caught in a storm that seemed to come out of nowhere?
 
Yes. Nothing catastrophic (those rarely sneak up on you), just a brief but violent thunderstorm. So much rain fell at once that you heard it approaching before any of it actually hit the ground. I was in a park at the time and managed to avoid getting soaked by seeking shelter under a huge chestnut tree.

Have you ever been in a blackout that lasted more than 72 hours?
 
I don’t recall one lasting that long at all.

Have you ever ridden a camel?
 
No. I’ve only seen one on two occasions, neither of which allowed me to try it out.

Have you ever read a book written in a language other than your native tongue?

Yes, temporarily as part of a Halloween costume.

Have you ever dislocated a joint?
 
Yes, my right thumb when I was twelve. Still hurts a little.

Have you ever had any schoolwork singled out as excellent?
 
Yes, multiple times throughout the course of my education, most notably an entry for an elementary school essay contest that came in second in the state (of California).

Have you ever cracked open a raw egg you thought was hardboiled?
 
No, I’ve had numerous kitchen accidents, but not that one.

Has your home ever flooded (any part of it)?
 
We’ve been here for 30 years, and the only ‘flooding’ occurred when the sump pump quit while my wife was doing the laundry…cleaned up the mess with a shop vac, and put in a new sump pump [this has happened twice…].

Have you ever had a house fire?
 
No, unless you count the times I set a skillet or pan on fire when trying to cook. (And the oven once.) However, the house I live in now burned in November 2015. Luckily, no one was in the house, but all was lost. It’s rebuilt now. Though I was living in it, it doesn’t belong to me. It was still awful.

Have you ever had surgery with a general anesthetic?

Although I have helped build floats I never rode on one.
Have you ever been on a “Hayride”?
 
Yes…we have hayrides at our annual parish picnic.

Have you ever delivered newspapers?
