Trivia tag

Randy Charles Morin tagged me, and provided five little-known facts about himself. Ballroom dancing? Who would have guessed? So now I’m supposed to reveal five facts about myself and tag five more bloggers.

Let’s see, what five facts about myself have I not shamelessly paraded before the blogosphere already?

1. I got my first job with computers because I couldn’t type. OK, I have already blogged that, but that post was way back when I was an obscure blogger. Now I’m a semi-obscure blogger.
2. Like Randy, I have a wonderful wife. She doesn’t lay out my clothes for me or anything cute like that, but she’s an intelligent, fun, and loving woman. Which complements my stupid, boring, and grouchy ways. She made a great career for herself before we got together, then I ruined all that by impregnating her (twice). Seriously, her decision to stay home with the kids has made all the difference for them.
3. I work from my home. That means that I’m around the kids a lot too, but they seem to be doing well in spite of it. Oh, and please don’t beat me up about my business site. I know it needs help. Think 1997. Just as soon as I find the time …
4. I have at various times played the piano, trumpet, bass horn, bass guitar, pipe organ, clavichord, and acoustic guitar. None of them well. I’ve written music that I cannot play.
5. I used to do a bit of stage acting at a community theater. I really enjoyed it, but I had to quit because I found myself becoming too immersed in my roles. It would take me weeks of effort afterwards to find my own personality again. Not too much of a problem if you’re playing someone heroic and noble, but not if you’re an irritable fop, a nervous cuckold, or an old braggart. I’ve been on stage in my underwear. And in drag. Therapy, please! (for the audience)

Now for five bloggers to tag. Let’s see, I’d like to hear from Shelley, Assaf, apotheon, Chris, and Vaspers the Grate. If I left you out, it’s just because I figured you wouldn’t have time for this nonsense. Actually, I’d be glad to hear from any of you. Especially Yvonne and Tracy, who seem to have fallen off the edge of the blogosphere. If you post on this topic, leave a comment and I’ll add a link to you.
