10 Things about me from Dani (Cousin of Cool)
1. You and I attended the same high school 14 years apart and yet still managed to have the same teachers, same uniform, and date the loyola boys.
2. You have two cousins that managed to marry Czechs (and trade in their relatively simple and short maiden names for longer and more confusing last names- thank god mine is only for personal and not work!)
3. I loved when I was little and we went to the Cockeysville Library on Saturdays. That instilled in me a deeper passion for reading, I smile when I see the Cockeysville Library still!
4. When we went and saw Grandpa in the hospital for his prostate- you clearly explained to me THAT testicles should NOT look like that in a normal man. Good thing to know since I had never seen a pair before on a grown man.
5. We managed to stall on the Providence Road hill- my first and last time at attempting to help with stick shift.
