First, the 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, letting them know they’ve been tagged.
Here are my eight random facts:
1. Grew up in Yonkers, New York. Yes, the city boy went country. Came to Geneseo for college and never left.
2. I have a daughter younger than one of my grandchildren (getting remarried 6 years ago helped that).
3. I freak at the thought of mice in my house. I refuse to set a trap and if one has to be disposed of, my wife gets the honor. I am also afraid of heights.
4. Traveled first to Romania, then Chile until I was successful in adopting my son. Romania was an unforgettable experience, blackmailed 5 times for baby (never!) and saw things that changed me to the core.
5. Prince of Tides is one of my favorite movies and I'm not ashamed to say, it makes me cry.
6. I'm a "closet" pianist. Terrified of playing in public but love to play. My piano teacher was Steve Tyler's father from Aerosmith.
7. I'm still best friends with the first friend I met in Kindergarten.
8. I know the risks but I worship the sun. I feel so much better when I have a tan.
Now you know a little more than I would normally share.
I now tag the following people;
Pat Aroune
Scott McLeod
David Warlick
Rick
Steve Hargadon
Mike Temple
Mike Guhlin
Jeff Utecht

Neil - Thanks for the Random facts that will encourage conversation in the bloggers world. I sent greetings your way via Bob G. I am indebted to you for all your encouragement this summer - high schools new face. Reading your posts everyday we sat together with Sheryl brings back inspiration. I have started this school year energized and refreshed. I hope you will tag me in your follow up blogs - I would like to join in the professional conversations. Best wishes to you this school year.
I will certainly keep you in the loop. Best wishes to you as well. Sounds like you're off to a great start.
