2011: Eleven things about me.

I thought I would start my first post of this year off with some facts about myself.  WOW, just realized this is my first post and January is half over!  By the way today is Martin Luther King Jr. day.  Next year I will hopefully be able to post something about such an incredible man.

Ok  11 things in no particular order.

1.  I am an adoptive dad.
2.  I enjoy writing poetry, even if it doesn't rhyme.
3.  I took French in high school and know some words in German, Japanese, Spanish and Amharic.
4.  Spearmint chewing gum is my favorite to chew.
5.  I enjoy geography.
6.  I own a dog.
7.  Known my wife more than a decade.
8.  I like cars but want to own an old truck, say late 30's or early 40's.
9.  Recently learned how to whittle, here is a post of some toys I made.
10. Enjoy video games, especially racing.  My all time favorite is Need For Speed Underground.
11. If I won the lottery, (don't play) I would give 85% of my earnings away and invest the rest, can't take it with you and don't have it now-is it really needed?
