I was born at TMC and spent about two decades of my career here.
The questions concern the model train just inside the doors from the starting point.
A. On the right side of the display, how many white bridge supports are under the tracks?
They start at the wall, about an inch thick, various heights.
B. How many buttons on the front of the display?
They turn on the trains or carnival rides.
N 29 42. _ _ _ (A x 3) + 6
W 95 24. _ _ _ (B x 70) + 2
"And many nights alone, in the stillness and the solitude of the hospital, I push those buttons and I watch the trains as they disappear through the tunnel and emerge full steam on the other side. I watch the trains as they pass by the town square, the dinosaur canyon, the pirates cove, Santa Land and the ice skating rink. And I sit there and I watch and l listen. I listen to the sounds of the circus, of the kids laughing and of the train chugging along. Now I don't know why I am so brought to this train set. Perhaps it's my life coming full circle. Maybe it's just the kid inside all of us. Or perhaps it's a few minutes of my life that leukemia can’t take from me."
---Craig Sager, recipient of the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at ESPN's ESPY Awards, a quote from his inspiring speech about his journey battling cancer and the comfort he's found in the model train at Texas Children's Hospital.
