That series of numbers served as the combination for my bike lock. I can't even begin to tell you how many locks have come into my life since then, and I no longer know where that particular lock is, but it's the only combination I remember. I loved riding a bike as a kid because I felt free.

Parking space at Disney when we went on on family trip in the mid-80's. I barely remember where I park at the grocery store each week, but I remember that space.
20791
The number of the house where I spent most of my youth. My dad sold it a year and a half ago, and I haven't been back to my home town since. We're contemplating a quick visit this summer on our way to Cedar Point; I'm not sure I want to see what they've done to the house, even though the new owners are my cousins.
4834
The girls' 4x100 relay record that I coached. That was a fun day. It had been a tough season, and they hadn't broken 50 all season. I dyed my hair a color of their choice as a result.
82
My MIL's age. I spent time with her at the doctor recently, and while she still has the same feisty spirit, age is starting to catch her. She can tell stories about the 40's and 50's all day, but she couldn't remember why she was seeing the doctor five minutes after it was explained. It makes me want to stop time.
74
The age my mom would be if she were still living. I miss her all the time--she would love to hear stories about the students (I student-taught the semester after she died). She thought I'd be a superintendent, but I love the classroom too much.
