Blog Meme – Seven Things About Me

Meme – I got Tagged – Seven Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Lee Stacey – @lstacey tagged me with the “Seven Things You Didn’t Know About Me” Meme

Here are seven things you probably didn’t know about me and I am tagging seven other people myself … and the meme goes on …

1. I take thousands of pictures and I almost never do anything with them.

2. I am allergic to a bunch of things that many people have never known anyone to be allergic to including Celery, Citrus, Cilantro, Melon, Sesame Seeds, Strawberries, Mushrooms, etc.

3. I have been writing for much longer that many people I know. In the third grade I wrote a term paper about the League of Nations and by seventh grade I was writing about “The Ecological Importance of Bacteria that are Chemo-Synthetic.”

4. My father died more than 40 years ago from a disease about which the doctor could only say “We have never cured this.” It is now cured about 94% of the time.

5. I played the guitar from a very young age until my second year of college. I stopped paling completely for a couple of years then played six nights a week in “gin joints and speakeasys” around Los Angeles and Orange County California for a few years after college but have only played it a handful of times since then.

6. My brother and I opened for Jim Messina at a benefit concert in the Santa Barbara area many years ago.

7. I got married in a helicopter in the air above Sedona Arizona.
