Five random facts
Someone asked if I was tagged with some meme going around Microsoft. As far as I know, I wasn't. From the sounds of it, I wouldn't want to be. Sounds painful. Instead, I decided to do this other thing where I tell five things about me that other people don't know.
- My ancestry is a bit weird. My father was not a priest and at least one woman in my family tree gave birth no fewer than six times.
- Somebody told me that whatever day x-mas is, that's the same day as my birthday. So if my birthday is on a Tuesday, x-mas will be on a Tuesday. For the past three years, that dude has been right. It's crazy but I'm going to check every year.
- I once stood three feet away from one of my intellectual heroes, Albert Ellis. It was about three feet, not exactly three feet. It was the distance between stalls in the restroom.
- I know the words to the 1812 overture. Or, is it the 5th symphony? Well one of those two.
- I once played on the Esplanade in Boston, where they do fireworks. Actual music. I'm not trying to trick you into thinking I played tag as a child on the Esplanade.
N.B. Fixed a couple typos.
