Not sure if this is referring to learning to ride a real bull in this item, but riding a mechanical one is also on the list. Either way, this wasn’t checked off Nina’s List. Have you ever ridden a bull? How long did you stay on?
We’re not completely sure we know what Nina considered a “wild Vegas weekend,” but since this one wasn’t marked off her list she hadn’t had one that met her standard. Have you ever had an epic weekend in Las Vegas? Of course, what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas…
We don’t know if this list item refers to a big-budget Broadway musical, or if a small production in a community theater would have sufficed, but Nina never got to say she choreographed a show.
What about you? Have you ever had the chance to put together a stage show? Or written a musical?
Nina never got the chance to write a musical…and I imagine that’s a small group of people who could say they have. Are you on that list? What was your show about? Did you choreograph it too?
Both Nina and I loved to play Scrabble. She was always trying to use all of her letters and would plead with me to trade letters with her so she could accomplish this feat. I never would. One day she did it on her own. The word she got was FIGHTER. She got a jillion points and beat me soundly. Her smile was worth a pile of Z10’s on a triple word square.
Nina loved words, reading and writing as you will see if you poke around the nooks and crannies of this site. In 8th grade, she won an award for “Academic Excellence in Language Arts – Literature.
Nina hiking with her friends on her first road trip in July 2009. She was so excited to see landscape in upstate New York.
What was your first road trip? Or a memory from your favorite one?
