Some of my thoughts and memories and things:

• Ulan Baatar- the capital of Mongolia and one ugly city- July 2006
• Utah- one beautiful state- 2006
• Umbrellas- great idea but I hate to use them.
• Uncles- John, Lawrence, Tom and Dick
• Uber- yea, I'm coming on board with this service.
• Under the Boardwalk- one of my favorite songs from the 1960s.  I think the Drifters sang this song.
• U-turns- I have to admit that I do make a lot of illegal U-Turns.  
• Uncle John- my father's oldest brother.  He died at 57 from a brain aneurysm
• Uncle Lawrence- he died at 32 from Hodgeskin's Disease.  He died before I was born and my father mourned for him forever.
• Uncle Tom- he was closes in age to my father and they were buddies. He lived to be 91
• Uncle Dick- my mother's only sibling and the last of the Review.  Our family name dies with him
• USA- my country.
• UK- I like to visit this little island.
• Ulcers- my doctor once told me that my test results showed the begging of an ulcer.  I told her that was ridiculous as I want worried about anything.  She said diets could cause ulcers and then she asked me what I had for breakfast: coffee, tomato juice and leftover pizza.  
• URW: text talk for "you are weird" and I have been told that thousands of times.
• U2- I like a lot of their music but not all of it.
• Underdogs- some of my favorite students.
• Unapologetic- I don't apologize for my views.
• Unchained Melodies- one of my favorite songs. Tons of people have covered this song and I never get tired of it.
• Uncle Tom's Cabin- I never read it.  I cant rad books that are written in the local dialect.
• Unicorns- I don't believe in them.
• Urinary Tract Infections- this hasn't been a problem for me.
• Urinate- I urinate, I don't pee.
• Uniforms- I had to wear the uglies uniforms for my first 12 years of education.  Now, I still don't know how to dress with any style.
• Usahuaia, Argentia- 2007- I left port here and traveled to Antarctic.
• Unions- I never joined one.
• Umpires- I hate when parents yell at umpires during a kid's baseball game.  I want to tell them to "STFU, this guy is a volunteer".
• Upside down pineapple cake- I am not a big fan and it must be 40 years since I had a piece and I'm OK with that.
• Unsweetened Ice Tea- that is how I like.  I like the raw taste of the tea.  Adding sugar just ruins the taste for me.
• Unpasteurized milk- I cant taste the difference so I am just going to stick to pasteurized milk.
• Unsalted nuts- I hate salted nuts.
• Uniontown, PA- my parents very good friends used to live here and I've visited them a few times.
• Uptown Theatre- PA- I volunteer as an usher here.
• Unionville, PA- my sister and her family used to live here.
• University Park, PA- home of Penn State University, my Alma Mater.
• Ulysses S. Grant- I really don't know much about this guy.  I know he was a president but that is about it.
• Until we met again- there are lots of people I let slip out of my life and I would like to meet them again.
• Until Death Do We Part- that's a damn big commitment and one that I never made.
• Uganda- I want to go here to see the silver back gorillas.
