I've Been Tagged

Richard sends me this meme - five things you don't know about me. Here goes, five things which my off-line friends and family know, but blog readers may not.

1. I was in a large earthquake in Medellin, Colombia. I was in a mountainside suburb at the time, with a view of the whole city. I could see the ground moving in waves, telephone poles swaying, and transformers exploding. It lasted about a full minute, which is a long, long time for an earthquake to continue. It was hard for me to tell when it was really over on account of my shaking knees.

2. Although I'm not a very good singer I was a member of several moderately renown choirs and a cappella groups in high school. On various occasions I sang in front of crowds of 1000+, and went on tour with a small group singing in churches.

3. I lived on my grandparents' farm/ranch in South Dakota in eighth grade. I done any hunting since, but one of these days I will again.

4. I've been a resident of at least 13 towns in six states and three countries.

5. I once spent several weeks playing a minor league professional golf tour.

Now I'm supposed to select five other bloggers and burden them with this little excercise. Andy, David, Jay and Deb, and Cal.
