Five Things You Don't Know About Me

Edited to add: For peo­ple who don’t know, there’s a meme (a new thought, trend or “buzz”) going around. It’s called “tagging.”

Looks like I’ve been tagged by Rob Sellen. Here’s the rule: I’m sup­posed to list 5 things you prob­a­bly don’t know about me, and then “tag” 5 other peo­ple who are asked to do the same. Okay, here goes…

1. I was born with flat feet. Yup, in fact, they’re so flat that, when I go swim­ming and walk around the pool, my feet make sounds as if they were “suc­tion cups.”
2. When I was 18–19 years old, I used to have long, blond hair as a drum­mer in a heavy metal band (and we’re talk­ing 80s metal, like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, you name it).
3. I can sing a mean karaoke and play piano, too… But just by ear. I’m cer­tainly no Chopin! And the songs I love to play and sing? Croon­ers. Yup, Sina­tra, Ben­nett, Mar­tin, Right­eous Broth­ers, etc.
4. While work­ing with a hair trans­plant sur­geon in 1997, I lived in New York City. My apart­ment was about two blocks from Carnegie Hall. My friend owned the restau­rant next door, which appeared in the movie “That’s The Ticket,” with Andy Gar­cia, Andy McDow­ell and Chris Lemon (son of Jack Lemon). (I was there when they filmed it!) He was also a sys­tems ana­lyst for a stock bro­ker at the World Trade Cen­ter. He called in sick on Sep­tem­ber 11th, 2001.
5. I absolutely despise turnip and get nau­seous at the mere sight of the thing.

(Um, still like me?)

So as my five cho­sen souls to tag are: Armand Morin, Mike Fil­saime, Jack Humphrey, Jim Edwards and Brian Clark.
