I got tagged by my friend, jennimi, a few days ago.

It has taken me a while to decide on what to reveal; sorry Jenn! This sort of ties in to many of the issues which caused me to “withdraw” somewhat recently, thus I was a bit “careful” about what to put here. I had several ideas but decided that that detail might be a bit more context sensitive, at least to me and when and to whom I might tell it. Shades of storytelling arising again….

Well, with any luck, these tidbits may be interesting, intriguing or entertaining, but not TMI.

1. In a much younger life, I had the responsibility of unlocking and passing the Permissive Action Link codes to unlock the nuclear warheads on our missile site in West Germany.
2. I used to collect beer cans, for almost 20 years. I still have some in storage.
3. I cut two fingers on my right hand to the bone with an X-acto knife. On Christmas Day. When I was 12, I think.
4. I listen to Lambchop’s song, “the new cobweb summer,” (almost) every night before I go to bed for the opening lyric, “The last thought that you think today / has already happened…”
5. I, and the rest of my family (and many others), have a permanent life-time ban on donating blood. This is thanks to being in Europe during the beginnings of the Mad Cow scare, or more accurately, the rise of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

Hopefully nothing here will cost me a job someday. Hehe. Just some of the more mundane facts about my life.

If you haven’t done this yet, and you would like to, then feel free to feel tagged. I’m a little too out of shape right now to be tagging anyone and running away.
