Georgia Weaver has memed me: http://activerain.com/blogsview/888822/Ive-been-memed

Okay, I'm game... Seven things people may not know about me:

 

1. My degree is in music education and performance. (I've strayed a bit from there...)

2. I enjoy woodworking in my fairly messy garage shop. (My father was way more skilled than me with much less in the way of tools, but I still enjoy it.)

3. I teach eight-hour classes to attorneys and accountants on Section 1031 exchanges for their continuing education credits. (It's a little intimidating to someone who is neither, but I just remind myself that I had to stand in front of a group of fifth and sixth graders with musical instruments they couldn't control; that calms me somewhat.)

4. My wife and I sponsored a Vietnamese family by ourselves in 1979. (We're still friends with them; they've been very successful in spite of us.)

5. I made the communion boxes that our church uses to minister to those who cannot come to church.

6. In the late 1960's, I played drums in a band called The Fantabulous Trojans. (Named before I joined, so I do not claim nor do I desire any credit for the name.)

7. I have Jason Smith completely buffaloed.

Ha back atcha! Things are fine here in DM. How are things out west? Did you hear about the Omaha event with Brad Andersohn? I thought I'd see you there. I should have called to make sure you were going.

I did hear about it and Dave invited me several times but I just couldn't make it.  I was out in Illinois taking my real estate boards out there, plus we had our Christmas party during the same time so I just spent a few days out there.

Oh yes and things are good out west, as good as they are going to get for now anyway.  Just plugging away, day by day keeping up the good fight.  Getting ready for the Iowa Deer Classic and the Nebraska Big Buck Classic later this winter.

Hi Ken,

That's a fun list - particularly #6 - I think you'll need a new name for the reunion concert.

When I read #2 it reminded me of a book I saw at the bookstore last time I was browsing - it's in the Home and Design section and is about men and their "shops" - just photographs of guys' woodshops, etc. 

Thanks for sharing.

Liz
