Survived cancer at age 21 ...
Survived Long Island at age 25 (it was more traumatic than cancer)

My mom telling Mrs. Wixom to "go to hell".

From Ellen "Oil Damage" Wixom, I learned that using a rubber worm (of the fishing lure variety) irreparably damages a textbook. I believe that one cost me a Lincoln.

I only attended OHS for a year and half, and they were the early high school years, so cut me some slack. I would say that Mr. Hilton was about the only teacher in my high school experience to realize I was having a hard time learning something one way and took the time to show me another approach. I did well in the class largely thanks to a little attention on his part.

Golf, parenting, lawn care, being a sports fan ...

A bunch of singles of iTunes ... Snow Patrol, Guster, U2, Kings of Leon ...

Seattle Seahawks ...
Los Angeles Dodgers ...
Utah Jazz ...
New York Islanders ...
Colorado Buffaloes (Grandpa played for 'em) ...
Utah Utes (Had to pick a side in the rivalry) ...
UCLA Bruins (My, the PAC-10 is getting crowded)

Not much about me is surprising. Living the middle-class American dream.
