The Seven Things -
During high school one summer, a friend and I had a beard growing contest. When it was over, I realized I had some decent sideburns going, and since then, I’ve never been without sideburns. There were a few years later in high school where I really had sideburns. My wife assures me that I don’t have to worry about them coming back again:
-
I can kick your ass…at Crokinole.
-
I drank no alcohol until I was 30, at which point, for reasons I don’t fully understand, I became a connoisseur of red wine. I have never tasted beer.
-
Both of our 2 children were delivered by a midwife, and our second child was (intentionally) born at home. Participating in a home birth was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
-
My wife grew up around the corner from me, and we used to walk to school together. I would rather spend time with her than anyone else on earth. She is my best friend.
-
I love dance and house music.
-
I am spatially-challenged. I get lost very easily, and cannot mentally visualize space the way normal people do: I can look at a map, but not think in terms of a map. Many people have tried in vain to teach me directions (”Toronto is laid out in a grid…whatever”). I know where I have been, and that sequential memory is how I find my way.
I’m supposed to tag seven people now:
