Sorry to say, but I rather doubt Kelley has done anything she claims 
to have done (now or in the pre-motherhood period).  The reason for 
my skepticism is that if she had indeed done half of the things that 
she mentioned anecdotally, she must have lived for at least a couple 
of hundred years.  In other words, things don't add up.  I've always 
thought so, but in fear of offending anyone's feelings, I've never 
mentioned it.  As I said, however, I'd offer a sincere apology if I 
hear from folks in her town that I'm mistaken about her.
