8 Random Facts Meme
Vacation has been satisfactory enough so that I don’t feel like going back to work on Monday. I’d not been planning to post anything until then, but wanted to get this out.
I am way behind on personal e-mail and blog stuff, and will catch up upon return.
John Witter of the Jig-Saw History Blog was the original guy to tag me.
Rules:
1. Post these rules before you give your facts.
2. List 8 random facts about yourself.
3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them.
4. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know they’ve been tagged.
Eight Random Facts About Me
- Despite my obvious whiteness, I’m about a quarter black.
- I have a phobia of anorexics, but it does not extend to the (involuntarily) starving or especially thin.
- Much of my casual wardrobe consists of free T-shirts from giving blood.
- After living in Miami for five years, I root for the Heat, Marlins, and Panthers, but will never back the Dolphins.
- Practically any drink with rum as the primary alcohol gets a thumbs-up from me.
- I used to be able to accurately multiply two 3-digit numbers in my head (but not nearly as fast as just using a calculator).
- The opening move 1. e4 is anathema to me. I don’t remember ever using it in a chess tournament.
- I will undoubtedly think of a few items that were more interesting than #3, #4, and #8 about an hour from now.

I also noticed I didn’t make it to your “Enemies” column. Darnit. Heheh.

well seems like we did our job well, if you don’t feel like going back to work. although marc is coming down tomorrow evening, maybe that’ll make you want to quit your job altogether.

Caro: Ask and you shall receive.
Annie: Marc wouldn’t be the reason for me to want to do anything.
