After a tag and a poke from Mr Rodgers I’ll provide 8 things you probably don’t know about me, being the new kid in town it seems like a great opportunity to explain myself:
1. My wife Angela and I underwent 8 years of infertility treatments, unsuccessfully. Now, I’m the father of 3, the first 2 (Josie and Carl) we adopted privately from Arizona, the 3rd was done “the old fashioned way” to our great surprise - mind blowing actually.
2. I’ve been 100 feet below sea level, intentionally here, here, here, here, and here.
3. August 2004, I was duped by my pal David Coarsey into doing the London Triathlon, damn near died.
4. Since I’m old and out of shape I now ride motorcycles thought not this well.
5. In high school I played trumpet, occasionally with an umpahpah band during K-W Octoberfest.
6. I used to raise pets with the specific intent of eating them. Mmmmmm pets.
7. I’ve participated first hand in a mennonite barn raising, cool weekend, awesome food.
8. I sing Karaoke, badly.
+1. If you met me in person recently you probably know that we just moved back to Waterloo from Boston after 12 years.
I’ll tag a few folks to expose their 8 items: Evan Leonard, Aaron White, Jeff Fedor, Larry Borsato, Tim Ewald, Glen Daniels, Simon Fell, Sanjiva Weerawarana.
[…] cursing Jim Murphy for tagging me in his 8 things you didn’t know about me post. For the record I didn’t know of few of those, mental note: avoid karaoke bars with Jim. […]
Thanks, remind me to hide the Guinea Pigs when you come over.
