I’ve been tagged. I’m supposed to tell you (in case there is a you) eight things you (probably) don’t know about me.

1. I first attended college at the ripe old age of 12. I thought I was 14, but last Christmas the topic came up and my parents convinced me I was 12 (and of course they’re right; it was 1987).
2. I can sing.
3. I used to be a locksmith.
4. I grew up in a house on a lake in Michigan. I’ve forgotten more about being cold than many of you will ever know, I believe that hockey is a religion, not a sport, and every once in a while you can still catch my accent (I’m told it sounds vaguely Canadian).
5. I am very mechanically inclined, and can fix all kinds of stuff.
6. I can do a killer Arlo Guthrie impression. I didn’t know this about myself until today.
7. I am staunchly opposed to capital punishment. If you want to know why, ask me.
8. I have been with my wife since we were teenagers. We both turned 32 this year (her 3.5 months more recently than I).

I’m supposed to tag 8 people, but I only know so many people with personal blogs, and some of them are already tagged. So I’m tagging Alan, Kevin, Jason, Randy, and Will. I have no idea how I’m supposed to alert them.
