8 random things about me

Marc Orchant has tagged me in the "8 random things" meme (I'll get you for this) so here are eight random things about me:

1. I've been to Paris 11 times.
2. The longest trip I've been on was 20+ hours flying from Houston to Muscat, Oman.  I returned after an 8 hour meeting.
3. I have lived under martial law for 3 weeks.
4. I have witnessed first-hand a civil war in the making.
5. I learned to program on an IBM 1130 mini in high school.
6. I have owned 4 convertibles.
7. I was a singer in a rock band.
8. I want to write a novel about someone accused of a crime because the GPS locator in his phone puts him at the scene of a murder when it happens.

OK, that's all for me.  Here are the lucky people I am tagging:

Kevin Tofel (you knew you weren't getting out of this, right?)

Matt Miller

Dwight Silverman

Hugo Ortega

Hey! At least I left Kevin for you to tag, right?

It's all Warner's fault anyway.

Fond memories of the 1130.... Swapping disks so that we could go from RPG to Fortran.

Hmmm... what happened to the stored info that pops up when I do a post? All gone!

There is only ONE random thing people need to know about me: If you ever tag me with this 8 things stuff, I will kill you.

Thank you.
