Meme’d on my birthday

The North Phoenix Agent, Heather Barr, tagged me on my birthday. I’m not sure if that’s a present or not, but I’m game to play along. Accordingly, here are the rules: (1) list 7 things about yourself, (2) tag 7 people to do the meme on themselves including a link to their site.

1. In High School I was a 4 year varsity football player, french horn player in the band, graduated 13th of 400 kids, but read just 1 book (The Red Badge of Courage).
2. In college, I dropped out of the honor’s program, because I would be required to write book reports, about books I had read.
3. I finally read a book after my Junior year of college, when I first worked for IBM in Dallas as a co-op student. Being completely broke, and having no TV, the cheapest form of entertainment I could come up with, was reading books.
4. Today I read constantly, but given my younger transgressions, am not a fast reader by any stretch.
5. I think BMW’s are the best automobiles on the planet, and have driven my last 2 on the Autobahn at 150 mph.
6. Even though riding a bicycle has cost me 2 front teeth, a broken arm, a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament, and countless other minor injuries, I’m still an avid cyclist, riding 3+ days a week on both mountain and road.
7. I have never gone sky diving or bungie jumping, but I would like to do both after my kids become independent.

And now I get to tag 7 other people: Artur Ciesielski, Paul Slaybaugh, Steve Scheer, Dave Smith, Sylvia Barry, Jeff Kempe, and Maureen Francis
