Hey chickadee,
Noodlin' is for major macho men. At least I don't know any women who do it. I do know a few male noodlers though. Lots of guys did it where I grew up. There's even a movie about it.

You'll probably love tornado season unless one strikes where you live. Everyone turns into a 'storm chaser' and the television news types fly into the storms in helicopters. Everyone watches on TV and calls their friends to see if they're ok. No one gets in the 'fraidy hole' unless it's practically on their doorstep. Except my Mom of course. A standing rule in our house growing up was that we had to come home if it thundered. Mom was a major tornadophobe.

I would love to hear more about the 91 yr old's book too. Just goes to prove it's never too late. There's still hope for us all.
