Milestone Moment: 50 Shades of Me

What this episode covers

What do Caesar salads, MotorolaStarTACs, a traumatic childhood rollercoaster experience, being stung by a stingray, never pulling an all-nighter and always making sure to name a car have in common? They are just a few of the 50 Shades of CH that we are celebrating as we reach our 50th episode here on the podcast (sorry, ’50 Shades of Grey’ fans but this episode has NOTHING to do with the books or the films). Instead, tune in for some thoughtful reflections on some of the quirky, funny, heartfelt and entertaining moments that have been part of CH’s life journey thus far - all wrapped up in one episode. Whether you’re a longtime C17’er or tuning in for the first time, we’re pretty sure this episode will bring a smile to your face, maybe even a laugh or two, might even be a walk down memory lane, and is for sure an opportunity to get to know CH a bit more than you may have during the previous 49 episodes! Show Notes Some fun callouts that are featured in this episode: - Dave and Buster’s - the only place CH really has played video games (and of which she loves). (https://www.daveandbusters.com/us/en/home) - It was a (young) encounter with the Matterhorn at Disneyland that caused CH to not set foot on another rollercoaster for 10 years. (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disneyland/matterhorn-bobsleds/) - Firsts in technology: First Computer was an Apple IIc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIc); First mobile phone was Motorola StarTAC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_StarTAC) - For Harry Potter fans, CH’s house is Ravenclaw, her Patronus is a Badger and her wand is Redwood. - CH was, is and always will be a massive Dr. Martens fan. (https://www.drmartens.com/us/) - The Queen Mary has always been rumored to be haunted (they even now do an event called Dark Harbor Halloween during September/October). Highly recommend the QM as a place of interest for those visiting the Southern California area. (https://queenmary.com/)
