What have you done?!

[Luddly Neddite]

I walked around Stonehenge...back in the day when you were still allowed to. Surprised how small those stones were.

I walked around it in 2010. You can't now?

I was surprised at how small it was too. But beautiful and eerie. Haunted by spirits from the past. And sheep and crows who were probably kidnapping fat American tourists and dragging them underground to feed the Druids ...............

Hey, I'm sure I saw a grey haired man disappear, right before my eyes. And I KNOW the crows were whispering to the sheep. I just know it.

Oh, right. I thought you could only look at the stones from a distance these days and not walk between/around them.
Yes, the place certainly had a good vibe about it..

I just remembered another one.

When I was 19, I was on the US Army wrestling team. I was in a combined military wrestling competition that was going to send the winner to the Olympic tryouts. I was damn good and I won. I also broke my ankle in the championship match. Winning with a broken ankle was unbelievable, but that break kept me from progressing towards Olympic tryouts. I so would have loved to compete in the Olympics. I can't say that was I able to tryout I would have made it on the team because the squid I defeated (who went in my place) never made it through the Olympic tryouts.

I've interviewed Judy Collins and Buffy Sainte-Marie (separate occasions)...
Buffy was brilliant, warm, engaging, funny, creative, witty, just a blast. Judy was like listening to paint dry. I don't think I ever used that one for anything.

"Broke" your ankle? How?

In 2010 and now, it is roped off. When I was there, 1976, it was not roped off. You could walk all around where the stones are, touch them, lean against them if you wanted. When we went there, it was winter (December). We were the only two people there. I have a picture of me standing right next to one of the stones. You can't do that nowadays.

I was in an elevator with Barry White...

And in another one with Mark Shields...

While sick in bed with a bad cold, I have been served a bowl of chicken soup by the famous mountaineer, Ray Genet, who later died on Mt. Everest.

I was in college and his girlfriend at the time was my roommate. He had come to visit her and was staying with us for a few days.

As a young woman I shot and killed a moose. Then I sat down and cried. Three families were fed from the meat, but I still feel bad about killing that moose to this day.

 

[MeBelle]

I dislocated my knee slow dancing.

 

[Ropey]

I watched a Kat go from Black to Pink and to Black again and I had only a few drinks.

He probably employed the infamous 'step over toe hold'. Effective but risky.

Yeeeeeaaaah.....maybe not.

I wonder if the athletes in Sochi can see her house from there.

Wow. I didn't realize he meant that. No, I didn't get to walk up to it either.

I love the way Brits do these things. The barrier is one cord around it. The sheep come and go under it and around the tourists. And, driving to it - no big billboard signs announcing a Stuckeys and a McDonald's.

Loved coming to the top of the hill and seeing it silhouetted at the top of the next hill. Takes your breath away.

I've killed a couple of animals too and always regretted it.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

I caught a pass from a Super Bowl winning quarterback.

I killed some animals and birds in my youth, and it is the only thing I regret in my life.
