No. 15

The Number 15 is a pretty significant number in my life:

1. It is the age I was when I first learned to drive. I got my permit and my dad would take me to the cemetery to drive around. He said, “Well, if we crash, they won’t have far to take me.”
2. It is the date of our anniversary in May. We got married in a beautiful Lutheran church in MN. We had all our friends and family there. For supper we ate at Wendy’s.
3. It is the number of years we have been married. Karla and I have been together a long time.
4. It is the age I was when the Chicago Bears won the Super Bowl. I realized then that I didn’t have to be a loser. I also learned all the words to the Super Bowl Shuffle.
5. It is the number of questions I usually got right on the algebra pop quizzes (out of 30).
6. Lastly, it the day that I skipped on this month’s BLOGOFF. This is my attempt to make up for it.
