Eight things

I've been tagged for the "8 random things" meme, three times, actually, isn't that random? And who knew that Mark used to play classical trumpet, John loves ghost towns, and Rusty had such a daring past?

My things:

Lifeguarding: My summer job as a teenager. I worked at one of the country’s largest outdoor pools.

Trumpet playing: It all started when, at age 7, I coiled up the plastic hose from my toy vacuum cleaner and “played” it while marching around my house. (A Jericho thing??)

Lepidoptery: An interest of my youth. I still have my Riker-mounted collection, in the attic somewhere. Also raised black swallowtails from caterpillar to butterfly.

Perfect pitch: I have it. (It’s properly called pitch memory, pitch recognition, or absolute pitch.)

Sewing: I used to do it. The last thing I made was a maternity concert outfit (to wear while performing).

A nice, crisp Riesling or rich, chewy Cabernet: Buy me one anytime.

Unicycle: I can ride one, even backwards. Though I haven’t tried in awhile.

Chevy LUV truck: my first car. It was a stick shift, and I still drive shift.


I would like to know eight things about:

Atlantic
Sherry
Melinda
Jan
Jeremy
Macht
Charlie
Martin

You're supposed to:

1. Let others know who tagged you.
2. Post 8 random facts about yourself.
3. Post these rules with your 8 facts.
4. Tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

Thank you for the tag, Bonnie. I'm going to have to think about how to make my 8 facts truly random.

Have you ever played the trumpet while riding a unicycle?
