#078 Make a complete and utter fool of yourself
I’m clueless about this one. If you are one of Nina’s friends, perhaps you can comment about what she may have done that was worth crossing this off her list?
Odds N’ Ends
#118 Learn How to be a Clown
Nina was in elementary school when she took a summer “Clown Class”. At the end of the class, the kids put on a performance for their parents who thought it was “The Greatest Show on Earth!”
#045 Have a tarot card reading
My sister Paula was very interested in Tarot Card reading. She gave Nina a Tarot Card reading. Before working on the List, I didn’t know anything about Tarot cards. If you’re interested in finding out more, check out this YouTube video:
#042 Brew my own beer
Rob, a chemist and friend of ours, is a master home brewer. Nina and John went to his house one Sunday afternoon and he showed them how to brew beer. You can see a picture of the bottle that they made. We still have some left in the refrigerator.
#015 Vote
Nina was so excited that her first vote would be in a Presidential election year, 2008. She proudly voted for Obama, proud that she voted for the winning candidate!
#025 Ride a horse
Nina first rode a horse when she was little. My sister put her on and led her around the corral. She thought it was wonderful and immediately fell in love with her horse.
Beaver was the name of the first horse I ever rode. He was dark brown and very gentle. I have one of his horseshoes.
#023 Have my palm read
Nina had her palm read when we went to Rawhide, a western-themed amusement park.in Phoenix, with one of her best friends Deepa
#357 Ride in an overnight sleeper bus
I don’t have much information about this one. I think she and her brother Sandy had to ride in an overnight sleeper bus to get from China to Hong Kong to fly back to Phoenix. Is this something you’d like to do? It could be quite an adventure.
#361 Think of an answer for an ISIHAC game
ISIHAC is “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue,” from the BBC Radio “antidote to the panel game”. Think of it as NPR’s “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me” with a trans-Atlantic accent. The games could be clever and intellectual, but mostly they were just excuses for being silly, such as “Sing One Song to the Tune of Another” or “Audio Charades” (think about it). Fictional prizes were awarded for fictional points by a fictional scorer. Nina loved to play along with the radio.
