5 Things

The 5 Things You Don’t Know About Me blog tagging game got me.
My buddy and co-worker Matt Berther tagged
me, so I will respond in kind.

I am pretty transparent and self-revealing person, so some of this might not really
be much a surprise for some. I am basically detrimentally uncensored about myself.

1. In 1989, I spent 3 weeks in an igloo in Alaska. The majority of that time I
   spent pressed up against another Airman for warmth and unable to go outside due to
   a freakish snowstorm. Ah, Johnson, I still miss ya. Did you know that
   the Inuit version of a toilet is pronounced coo-da-lik? Basically
   it is a block of ice that sit in the corner for 3 weeks.
2. I had quit a menagerie of animals growing up. As a 7th grader, I cared
   for a crippled one-winged red tail hawk after it was shot. My extensive
   knowledge of chicken hawk anatomy was put to good use. I also had a possum that
   I raised from a baby on a bottle. His name was Booker-T and his fur was sleek
   and silver, not at all like the one in the picture to the right.
3. The first computer I ever owned was an Atari
   520ST. I coupled it to a 300 baud modem to war dial my entire hometown.
   I got 3 answers.
4. I once dated Kenny Rogers‘
   niece. I pretty much did it just so that I could write this blog post today. And
   yes, I did have to link to Kenny Rogers’ home page.
5. Cartoon animation was my first love. My heart’s desire for many years was to
   be an animator for Disney or someone
   else like Hanna-Barbera.
   Now I settle for Family Guy.

Now who to tag back?

My Wife, Martin
Danner, Jared Richardson, Richard
Hundhausen, and Chris
