This one is the most memorable, because I am living it right now. It holds so much… and it’s real. It doesn’t get better than that.

Milena, you’re 12?

You share a birthday with a famous person too then: JK Rowling. Also the fictional Harry Potter.

Lol, I said birthday, not birthdate.

And yes, I know about Harry Potter and JK. I’m very proud of it, actually.

31st July 1995 when my first daughter was born. Everything in my life changed that night.

Whoa, that’s my birthday too!

Umm, my most memorable night would probably be sometime in November 1998, the night my family and I arrived at the Montreal airport, then drove into Hull, near Ottawa. It was the night I emmigrated to Canada.

Tonight’s pretty special too, because it’s my high-school graduation.

One summer night, 1954: One of my earliest memories. Watched the “firefall” at Yosemite Valley, where burning embers were pushed off of Glacier Point, 3,250 feet high.

October 6, 1957: Saw Sputnik fly overhead, a tiny point of light moving smoothly across the sprinkling of stars.

Oct. 31, 1959: Best Halloween costume in the whole wide world, an astronaut, made by Mom and Dad.

Another summer night, 1962: Pointed a small telescope at a point of light in the sky, and it was Saturn!

June 14, 1968: Graduated from high school and spent the whole night at Disneyland with my girlfriend.

Feburary 7, 1970: Met my future wife on a blind date, love at first sight, picnicked at Carmel on Valentines Day a week later. Never apart since.

December 20, 1971: Spun out and crashed in the snow almost falling into a ravine, spent the entire night getting home, nearly froze to death.

August 1972: Our wedding night.

July 1974: Huddled under a rock ledge during an all night hailstorm in the High Sierras.

November 1985: Our daughter was born.

January 17, 1994: The Nortrhridge earthquake trashed my house and collapsed the large building where I worked, where I was to be in just a few hours.

June 19, 2008: Tonight my wife will get home and I will tell her once again how much I love her.

Most memorable night? I’m bad at dates:

Middle of the summer 2001: I was in the middle of Germany, unable to speak the language and locked out of my host family’s house at 2:00 in the morning because my host sister was still out partying…I prayed and cried sitting on the doorstep until one of the neighbors came home and I was brave enough to ask them to help me.

May 7, 2003: I graduated from college, dinner with the fam, hanging out with friends until the bar closed and then driving a friend to the airport (2 hours away) to catch his morning flight. We drove back home after that and watched the sunrise, not having slept a wink.
