1) My name is NoHall, and I'm a SoWalaholic
2) My first 30A SoWal experience was 1996. (I think I had been to Destin before. I don't really remember.)
3) My all-time favorite spectator sport is Australian Rules Football.
4) My favorite team sport as a participant is Ultimate Frisbee, but SoWal kickball is real close.
5) As far as I'm concerned, professional athletic teams don't even exist. I used to like college basketball, but now I'm too busy to keep up. (I'm pretty shocked that I've mentioned sports three times, to be honest.)
6) I consume more chocolate than any of you can possibly imagine.
7) I'm a cat person. I like other people's dogs, but don't really want to be needed that much.
8) I'm absolutely crazy about most people under the age of 18. Teenagers are my favorite, but when my brother and SIL started having kids every few months I found that I liked little ones pretty well, too.
9) I really want to take ballet and tap someday. Really really.
10) I haven't cooked an actual meal in years, and I wish I had a good reason to change that. (Other than eating.)

I don't know why but this is the funniest thing :funn: what do you have against wind and escalators?

Wind is just generally a pain in the ass at the most inopportune times.
Escalators just scare the crap out of me. Don't know why, I suppose it's a height issue or maybe the height and the movement together. If this Vegas/RV trip ever turns into reality, I will have to have some serious alcoholic therapy prior to any escalator endeavors.
