Yes. To three MLB games in three different cities, Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Miami. Coincidentally the Kansas City Royals were playing in each game. Have you ever taken a cruise for a vacation? ---

Nope. I can’t think of much about the life-on-board-ship experience that would appeal to me. Have you ever caught yourself talking out loud to yourself and afterwards noticed others looking oddly at you? ---

Just once or twice, I think, but it’s been a long time. Have you ever had a little crush on a cartoon character? ---

I would never admit to such a thing, but I have a, um, friend who has been known to dote upon the likes of Jessica Rabbit and Kim Possible Have you ever accidently walked into the bathroom intended for the opposite sex? ---

Yes, twice that I can recall, but was not spotted either time. Have you ever had your car run off the road? (skidding in ice/snow or just evading) ---

Yes, by deer. Ended up up-side-down, hanging from my seat belt. I didnt think I was hurt, my cel phone was outta of my reach in the back seat. So I unclipped my belt to fall on the ceiling, and found out, painfully, how injured I was. Never got to my phone. When I awoke again they were pulling me out and putting me in the ambulance. It was 4 hours later and my husband thought I should be home and came and found me and called 911. I had a broken jaw, a broken collarbone and ribs. It was several weeks before I realized how long I was in the wrecked car. Have you ever hit wildlife in your vehicle? ---

Yes. But nothing big. There is a time of year we call land crab season where I probably run over at least 100 crabs on a drive to/from work. Have you ever been transported to hospital by ambulance? ---

Yes, once, in college when I fell down some concrete steps and cracked my skull. Why yes, alcohol was involved. Have you ever skinny dipped in mixed company? ---

Oh yeah, many times. (It’s been a few decades). College camping trip was most memorable. Have you ever been out on a boat that ran out of fuel? ---

Yes. More than once in sailboats. No problem. Pick up a mooring under sail. Tender ashore with an empty gas can. Problem solved. Have you ever been arrested? ---

No, but I have friends who were, and I’ve dealt as a lawyer many, many times with people who’d been arrested. Have you ever been in serious trouble and called a lawyer? ---

Not necessarily serious trouble, but yes, I have called a lawyer, a few times. Note that I am a lawyer myself, but even so, I need legal help from time to time. Most notably, when my marriage was disintegrating and my wife told me that she had engaged one of the best divorce lawyers in town, I called a colleague, who could represent me dispassionately, fairly, and with my best interests in mind. He did a good job, which I could not do at the time. Maybe I would have been in serious trouble, owing to emotion, had I represented myself. Have you ever won a raffle? ---

Yes, I won 2 ducks at a county fair one time. I named them Donald and Daffy. Except they were both girls. I enjoyed them. Have you ever been on TV? ---

Yes. I was on a TV quiz program for high-schoolers when I was in high school, and I’ve been on the TV news due to my involvement in local events. Have you ever been on radio? ---

Yes, Accidently. I had a boyfriend in Art school whose job was as afternoon radio show. I used to go to the station and hang out. We were talkin while the records were spinning, and he hit the Mic key and everybody heard us having a heated discussion about him flirting with my room mate. Embarrassment was not our worst issue, they actually fired him. He was hired back in 2 weeks when no one else wanted to do that time of day. We broke up over my room mate, and the ass dated her for awhile. Have you ever laid down in a coffin, just to see?? ---

No, the thought has never even crossed my mind. Have you ever won a game of any sort at a carnival midway? ---

Yes, often. Last time, I won a piggy bank, a flashlight and a cake by playing ring toss. Have you ever changed the oil in your own car? ---

My car, no, but my lawnmower, yes. Have you ever heard of Poon Lim?: [Poon Lim - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poon_Lim) ---

Yes. I discovered the _Guinness Book of World Records_ when I was in middle school, and I read that he held the record for longest lost at sea. I encountered him in subsequent editions too. Have you ever forgotten you had an appointment (doctor, dentist, etc.)?
