Hmm... Never thought about it, but what the yell, this sounds fun!
1. I was raised in a Church of Christ until I was 20 years old. Rarely if ever missed a Sunday service.
2. I enjoyed swordfighting with PVC pipe swords "padded" with pipe insulation and duct tape during my high school years. We'd go nearly year-round every week, meeting up in a local park to wail on each other. We called it "The Guild." Amazed no one was ever seriously hurt.
3. I won a city wide art contest in high school and had a few pieces selected to show at Cheekwood here in Nashville. Never got my artwork back though, it disappeared. Grr... Should have taken pics.
4. I can place $2.50 of quarters in my nose, $1.25 in each nostril. How did I find this out? Boredom.
5. Astronomy was my first intellectual pursuit. My mom sold Worldbook Encyclopedia when I was learning to read and I cut my "teeth" on the Childcraft Space/Astronomy book. The first book I ever checked out of a library was an Astronomy book. When queried what I wanted to be when I grew up, it was always, "An astronomer." When asked did I mean astronaut, I'd say, "No. An astronomer."
