25 Random facts about me....

Currently, on Facebook, there is a fad going around to list 25 random things about yourself that others might not know. I figured I'd kill two birds with on stone an do it here. So let's get started, shall we...

1 - I have been married to my high-school sweetheart and the greatest woman in the world for more than 25 years and we have NEVER had an argument.

2 - I have 3 great kids that I am very proud of. Two are grown and living on their own.

3 - I was a computer programmer for many years and made a lot of money doing it but I have not written a single line of computer code in 5 years.

4 - I love music, especially hard rock, and my favorite group has always been Rush.

5 - I collect TV shows and I'm not really sure why.

6 - I have always wanted to learn to play the drums and the piano.

7 - I have taught myself several languages and I can speak a little Japanese, Chinese, German, Russian, French, and Spanish. The problem is I never get to use them and I am very rusty.

8 - I used to ride a motorcycle.

9 - I have two tattoos; one I could show you and one I cannot.

10 - I accidentally drove a rental car in a real drag race (on a real track) in Hawaii.

11 - I have eaten monkey meat, alligator, bison, and a few other types of animals.

12 - I love to try new foods and my favorite (besides the wife's cooking) is currently Pad Thai.

13 - My favorite authors are Dean Koontz and Alastair Reynolds.

14 - I absolutely hate commercials. I do not need to be told what I need to buy.

15 - I tend to procrastinate - more on this later.

16 - I hate the fact that my family only gets together once a year (at Christmas).

17 - I love cold weather but I do not like to be cold.

18 - When I was in the Navy I saved the entire ship and crew once and all I got was a pat on the back (and that was enough).

19 - I was almost a Navy Seal (dropped after two weeks of training because I could not swim well enough).

20 - When I was a kid I wanted to be a stunt-man when I grew up (or a race-car driver).

21 - I have never been admitted to the hospital.

22 - I am bipolar and I have to take medication everyday for it (and I hate it).

23 - I changed a flat tire once with only a pair of pliers.

24 - I have a spoiled little lap dog I love very much.

25 - I am certain that I think the things on this list are more interesting than you do.
