| 1.) Like man of you above, I was a band geek in high school! I was a drummer in the marching and concert bands until my senior year in high school.
2.) I swam competitively for a total of 22 years, coached for a total of 10, now SWIM is a 4 letter word, like POOL in my vocabulary.
3.) I haven't been to Japan, but have been to Italy and Hawaii, each twice.
4.) I have a Jack Russell Terrior and my wife has a Beagle. The smartest and dumbest dogs on the planet!
5.) I am scared of sharks...when I was 12, I hyperventilated in the open ocean and basically walked on water back to the boat. Now, I SCUBA dive to get over this fear, but haven't seen a shark in the ocean...YET! |
