Over on my StickyFigure blog, I’ve been maintaining a series called Five in the Morning…wherein, each weekday (well, almost), I try to share 5 interesting posts from around the blogosphere.
But recently, I was “tagged” by Ann Handley (a favorite fellow blogger) to share 5 things about myself that you probably don’t know. There’s a lot more than 5 things that you don’t know or don’t want to know, but here are a few tidbits just so Ann won’t be able to nag or call me uncooperative!
1. I was going to be an astronomer. Or so I thought, until I took physics and calculus my freshman year in college. There ended my budding career intentions in high science (but I did once own a telescope in high school, and I hope to again, if we ever move to a non-light-polluted part of the country!)
2. My wife and I have a secret romantic little beach spot where you can actually see the sun set…over the Atlantic! Anyone know where it is??
3. One of my distant relatives appears on old editions of the U.S. $2 dollar bill.
4. I once ran my dorm janitor (write-in candidate) for Vanderbilt’s student body president. He got 36 votes. I don’t think he ever knew he was in contention.
5. Turns out I did one of these “5 things” memes a couple years back. So here’s a few more obscurities from behind the curtain!
