I think since I've been on Active Rain, I've been "Me Me'd" twice. And I've failed at ever responding until now. But after reading a blog by Mr. Blogger, Brian Block, it inspired me to really sit down and think about myself (sounds horrible, doesn't it?) But you know what, it really made me think about myself, and things that people probably don't know about me, and would never think to ask. So, blank paper in hand...away we went. And 75 items later...here we are! So, to my friends Adam Waldman and Julie Neerings, I hope this MORE than get's me off the hook......

Good morning! I'd LOVE to live with a mountain man in Montana!! I'm from Hawaii.. did you visit the Big Island? Enjoyed your MeMe (my friends used to raise Greyhounds.. they are wonderful pets).
Thom...
Wow, no wonder my life seems so incredibly boring! I enjoyed reading your exploits, and I'm not even going to ask what one does with all that 1000 Island dressing! lol
Margaret: Tag...that was a fun game as a kid. I forgot all about it. How "thoughtful" of me, eh?
Suzie: I won't qualify for a mountain man...been in the South to long for that! But there are plenty of 'em there! Ya need to catch one of those MSU boys that hikes, skis, and is an outdoorsman.....
Richard: All legit...but I'll let your imagination work for you instead!
What a great list! Glad that I was able to inspire you on this one. You've certainly held some interesting jobs and I'm jealous of all the time you've spent in Hawaii!
