Some people may not like them but I think Memes are fun - to read and now to write.
I was psyched to be tagged by Gabrielle Rhind - thank you!
So, here goes....my first meme:
I'll start off with an obscure sports reference - I babysat for Peter McNeeley when he was little. You might not remember but he was the first boxer to fight Mike Tyson after Tyson was released from prison. The bout lasted 89 seconds. Peter lost.
In 3rd grade I emptied my bank account to buy an antique spinning wheel. I've collected antiques ever since and the spinning wheel is now in the hall of my circa 1790s house.
I was "crowned" Woman's Libber of the Year at the 8th grade graduation dance after teaching a Women's Lib mini-course to my classmates.
I hitchhiked regularly as a teenager - alone and with friends. Times have changed!
I was robbed while working as a bank teller in Boston in the 1980s. I still have a photo from the security camera. The woman behind him looks shocked - probably because he had just threatened to blow my %$#- head off. I bet it was his hand jammed into his pocket but it was enough to get him charged with armed robbery.
I save all the money I find on the street - including pennies - in a Lucky Charms tin. I have $4.38 in my tin. Mostly pennies, one dollar bill.
I love my job so much I sometimes skip on my way into the office - but only when I go in really early.

I always wanted to do a "Liz Bolton Lived Here" tour so here it is Meme-tag style:
Mike Lefebvre of Medfield, MA - Because I grew up here
Jamie Ramos of New Haven, Ct - Because I lived and worked here
Jeff Mateja of Portland, ME - Because I lived here for a bit too
Shane M. Hill of Natick, MA - Because I was born here!
Kim Brown of Keene, NH - Because I bought my first house here
Jeff Dowler of Carlsbad, CA - Because he used to live here in Cambridge, MA - and we miss him!
Kevin Greeley of Cambridge, MA - My friend and colleague because sometimes we might as well live at the office
Here are the "rules":
Create a blog post with a link to the person who so happily tagged you for a MEME. See above.
List all of these rules in your post. Feel free to cut and paste this.

Identify 7 other ActiveRain members to tag for a MEME, and provide links to their blogs in your own MEME post.
Contact each of the tagged members and let them know that you tagged them
No schoolyard rules in this MEME, nope you gotta do it if you are tagged. (I hear the MEME police are out in force, rounding up folks who ignore this "invitation")
