Post a random fact about yourself....keep it clean(ish)!

I was born with a tooth

English is my fifth language. Now I speak one and a half (but understand more than I let on).

random fact
 

I was born at a very young age!

I was all conference and all-district in Basketball and track, and all-state in baseball as a high school senior in Missouri.

My best friend from the 7th grade lives down the street from me here.

That is so cool!

I have a software patent.

I started a Charitable activity in Buffalo NY about 25 years ago .
It was in cooperation with the local arm of The Salvation Army and called " The Gift of Warmth ".

I was working for a Bank at the time . We collected winter hats , gloves ,mittens and scarves for needy children . As the Bank I worked for expanded rapidly , I introduced the program into each of our new markets .

Eventually we expanded into Baltimore and the wife of the owner of the Ravens became involved so much so that today it has become a part of " NFL Charities ".

At one home game each year in cold weather NFL cities the Team collects kids mittens etc from the fans on their way into the stadium .

Good on ya! :ho:

That is so neat!!! Hope you two are still best friends!!

Ok I do not like to talk about my self, but somebody has to do it.... when I was in middle school I was on stage at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York as an extra with Jerome Hines. It was an Easter Special and I was privileged. My sister was an former opera singer and she got me the extra part. In will never forget it.

I was originally a Zygote until I got out of my cell.

I've been in love and married to the same lady for 45 years.

When I was in my 20's, I won first prize at a professional dance competition in New York for the Fox Trot in the Novice category and second prize for Swing dance, also novice category, but so exciting.

Met Paul Newman,oh ! those blue eyes.......ahhhhhh

Similar to Missypie, I performed at Carnegie Hall in June 1990 with my Sweet Adelines chorus. It was truly thrilling!

I spent 9 months tracking down our stolen 1967 Austin Healey and then stood on a street corner in NYC posing as a buyer, while my husband sat in the undercover van with the crime squad.

I also found his friends Healey that had been stolen from his garage on a flat bed a year prier and we got that back too. No I'm not a detective but when I found out that this had been going on for years and how they operated I said no way are they getting away with our car. lol I couldn't even drive the darn thing, it was the principle.:crap2:

I stole a bottle of champagne from the Eiffel Tower (restaurant on second level left it's kitchen back door open)....I was much younger and stupid then. LOL

I have a huge collection of movie ticket stubs.
 

I see numbers. Not dead people though. And, I really liked Draft Day and Non-Stop for their numbers as well as their plot, actors, etc. I have liked watching movies carefully since Outbreak at the Petaluma Theater on 3-12-1995.

Neat birth numbers
 

I was born at 11:59 PM........and my birthday is 11/15/59.

I used to volunteer at a food bank when we lived in Colorado. I helped set up a shopping model for clients rather than being handed a box of food. It was a huge food bank and it brought me such joy. Very physical work. It was such a great place that Lester Holt from NBC did a story there on situational poverty, versus generational poverty. I met him and have a picture with him and the staff at the food bank. Then we moved to the Chicago area. I miss that place.....

I am not asian...but my three grandchildren are

Yep! Never lost track of each other.

Played softball in Central Park , NYC with Soupy Sales.

I am married to the prettiest woman in the world (to me)!

My grandmother was the first woman in her area to drive a car. She was a midwife. She was amazing.

I surfed the Bonsai Pipeline.

I hiked the entire width of the Appalachian Trail.

Hmm... width of the trail?:shrug:

All two feet of it. Near the Tennessee/NC border.

Both sets of my grandparents had over 40 grandchildren, making me one of 85 first cousins. And, 8 of my aunts and uncles never had any children. It surly could have gone over 100.

Speaking of keep it clean.............I'm a neat freak.

I am an Army brat, and lived all over with my family. We traveled a lot and my Dad thought it was bad to read in a moving vehicle. To amuse myself, I started reading signs backwards. Subsequently, I can read and pretty much repeat any word you throw at me in reverse. And no, NOT supercalifragilisticexpealidocious....unless I'm looking at it... :). Some smarty pants tried that once...hahaha!!

I can wiggle my ears...

Wifey and I camped on the rim of the Grand Canyon, in the morning hiked to the bottom, spent the night at Bright Angel Lodge on the river, and hiked back up the next day. Wonderful experience.

In my former life, I met Presidents from Reagan to Obama and Richard Nixon, Heads of States, many many sports figures and movie stars. And yes, Paul Newman did have very blue eyes!! Charleston Heston had broad shoulders. Christopher Reeves was gorgeous! Tom Cruise was short. Joan Rivers and Nancy Reagan are very tiny.

Two memorable occasions come to mind-

Patrick Ewing was our intern for two summers when he was a student at Georgetown. He used to tease me that I came to his waist. I'lll never forget the day he held a newborn baby in the palm of one of his hands. His hands were huge! Or, the day we walked to the Library of Congress and people kept their cars running in the middle of the road to get his autograph!! Yikes!

On another day a secret service agent came into my office asking for directions. i told him I would have to show him. Hillary Clinton (a Senator then) stood outside the door. I asked her if she was ok!!! What can I say, she looked really tired. If looks could kill, I wouldn't be here!! I told that story to my former boss when I was in TV in May!! Good thing I'm retired!!

The first time that I went sky diving I peed myself!
