OMG, I hope everything gets better for everyone soon

. I haven't read this thread in a while. When it rains, it pours (no pun intended).

I have a rant, sort of.

My 9 year old son has to write a story about someone he admires and he chose me

Actually I was his third choice, but I won't get into that.

A part of his story needs to include a happy, important or interesting event that happened to me while I was a child. Well, the problem is that I have spent my entire adulthood trying to forget my childhood so I'm pretty limited in what story to give him. I did come up with one important event though. Sometime between 1990-1992 I presented Lincoln Alexander with some award at the hospital that I practically lived in when I was a kid. If you're curious about who he is look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Alexander. Of course now I can't find anything on the internet that has any information on what I gave him or when it happened, and the hospital closed in 1997. I have it on video somewhere and I know it was on the news, but can't find that either. So basically I have to either give my son half a story or steal someone elses happy, interesting, important story and put my name on it.
