Do you remember your first flight? Where did you go? Why?
Submitted by Laurel.

I flew from Portland to Sacramento on United Airlines. It was before they stopped running that route and before Sacramento opened the new terminal.  I took dramamine just in case, but didn't need it.  I was something like 20 years old.

How well do you know your next-door neighbors?

We play with his dogs.

What magazines do you subscribe to, and why?

1. Mens Health.  My sister-in-law got me a gift subscription many years ago and keeps renewing it.  I find it interesting and informative.

2. Newsweek.  I really have little use for this magazine, but it was free with my public television membership.

There used to be more, but we've really cut back.  I was a long-time subscriber to The Economist, which I consider the best newsweekly, but it's expensive, and I wasn't reading it every week.

What was the worst advice you ever received? Did you follow it?

It's odd, but I don't have a "worst advice" story.  In fact, I don't remember much ever asking for advice.  I was always trying to solve my problems on my own.  Rugged individualist, I was.

A lot of people talked me out of going to law school.  A few people wish I had.

Instead, I think about a lot of the advice I wish I'd been given (or I wish I'd listened to).  Stuff like always set aside ten percent of your income.  Just live on less like you were earning less.
