Wednesday Mind Hump: October 18, 2006

brought to you by Blogdrive Insanity

Greetings! Ready for another mind hump?
Today is Long Distance Day.

1. What's the longest distance you've ever traveled?
for about 15 years, it was the 1400-mile trip that i made to New Orleans for the LCMS National Youth Gathering until about four weeks ago when i flew 2500 miles to California to visit Nichole & Daniel.

2. What's the longest distance you've ever walked?
it was between 10 & 11 miles. i walked home from work once when i was 20. i didn't feel good, i didn't have the car that day & i couldn't reach anyone so i set out on foot. that's a long ass walk when you have a fever & a splitting, throbbing headache & it turns out you also have a raging sinus infection which is what caused the fever & the headache in the first place. no wisecracks about me leaving work "just" for that: i took care of 16 babies. 16 babies + an enormous headache that makes you feel like your skull is going to crack wide open every time you bend over or someone so much as whispers = absolute hell. for as long & miserable as that walk was, it was better than staying at work.

3. How far away is the friend/relative who lives the longest distance from you?
i refer you to question #1.
