THAT'S an obituary.

As a writing exercise, I once wrote my own obituary, which despite its rather lofty goals (Olympic medalist AND Nobel laureate?!?) I must confess a certain lack of originality when held up against this example

What did you medal in?

[ouraboros]

Floor exercises, gymnastics. Frankly, fear of the vault and falling off the balance beam kept me from engaging in those, but I enjoyed a lot of tumbling when I was much younger and closer to the ground. I also never developed the strength for the uneven bars.

Now, I continue tumbling in aikido. Ah well.

Nobel prize was going to be in medicine.
