8 Random things

I’ve been tagged.

I think I’ve participated in one meme since I started blogging. I rank them right up there with chain letters. It’s a slow day at work, however, so I’ll forgive Becky, but just this one time.

Here are the rules:

• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I’ve been to all 50 states.
2. I gave my son my initials, but not my first and middle name.
3. I’ve spent all day organizing hobby memorabilia (cards, comics, etc.) by different criteria, but I stack things on my desk–both at home and work–in piles without a thought.
4. For a short time, I was my wife’s supervisor while we were dating. (She left the company to finish school.)
5. I’m currently reading a book about the Restoration movement in America. This is the first non-fiction book other than the Bible that I’ve read that wasn’t required by work or school.
6. In college, I was in the same freshman composition course as my mother for a day. (She transferred.)
7. While my writing never won any awards in school (other than good grades), I paid for one quarter of school with a Speech & Debate scholarship.
8. I have had my hair in curls (think Eriq La Salle in Coming to America), in a ponytail, and shaved except for the bangs.

Now for my victims: Ed Gentry, Jeff LaSala, Harley Stroh, Stuart Etter, Jaleigh Johnson, Jason Anderson, Marcy Rockwell, and James P. Davis.
