Eight Random Facts About Me

1. I’m a Christian.
2. I’m a non-recovering biblioholic.
3. I’ve held an Amateur Radio operators license since 1980. Callsign N8UX. I’m not very active in the hobby anymore, but maybe I’ll rediscover it sometime.
4. I feel much younger than I am, yet look much older than I am. Imagine, if you will, the complications this can present.
5. I write, and play acoustic guitar, every day. Sustained decibels from playing in a band almost destroyed my hearing.
6. I broke my big toe on my right foot 8 years ago, but didn’t realize it until much later.
7. My first 3 computers were a TRS-80 model 1, Sinclair ZX-80, and a Commodore VIC-20, in that order. ah, the good ol’ days when you could program anything inside 64k of RAM.
8. I’m the only one in my neighborhood that push mows his own yard. Everyone else has “people” to do that sort of thing, or they have riding mowers more expensive than my Jeep.

I’m still working on my list of 8 people to tag. Everybody, Everybody have a great weekend!
