55 Things

Roon tagged me and I am now morally obligated to fulfill his request.

The rules:
* link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
* share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
* tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
* let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


Two years ago I posted 50 Things about me to my blog so I've already done this 10 times over. But I'll now make it 55 things about me by adding 5 new facts. Hmm, I can't mention television awards, movie appearances, or sea-monster sightings... this is going to be hard but I'll do my best.

Five (new) Random Facts:
  1. Since Roon ended his facts by mentioning that he's been to Yankee Stadium many times but never went to Shea Stadium, I'll start by saying that I've been to Shea Stadium several dozen times but I've never been to Yankee Stadium. Other than Shea, I've been to Major League games in Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and Minor League or Spring Training games in Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, and Maine.
  2. I have been downstairs in the basement archives of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, way beyond where the public is allowed to see.
  3. On more than one occasion I've hiked to the top of a cold, ice-covered mountain in the middle of the night using only a flashlight.
  4. Since January 1st I've been mapping the progress of hiker Ryan Carpenter on his 1,800-mile journey of from Key West, Florida to Springer Mountain, Georgia. (I've never even met Ryan before.)
  5. I am in Wikipedia. shhh. (I am not the one who wrote it (that's against the rules) but I did correct it once.)
Here are the 5 bloggers I've tagged, and now "they're it" and they have to list 5 random facts about themselves and so on and so forth.

Joe Video - Friend from college. Already tagged with this meme but he hasn't responded to it yet.
Kraig Koelsch - Former colleague, now living in sunny Florida.
Brian & Dawn - Current colleague and his wife.
Ian Isanberg - New York networker and fellow PSTV alumnus.
"Steele Creek Blogger" - Unknown Charlotte area neighborhood blogger I read.

  • Sorry, Mike. I forgot about your 50 things and didn't re-discover them until after I had already tagged you.

  • Chris,
    "Sorry"? Heck no. No reason to apologize. I was just kidding about the "moral obligation". That was fun to think of new self-oddities.

    Dee,
    LOL. I knew you'd like that one. It's been there a couple of years and there's a story behind it (which has to do with the other Mike Sussman) but the important thing is that I did not add or write that article myself (which would have been "vanity spam"). P.S. If you had a blog I would have tagged you with this little internet game. Hey, they're free at Blogger.com ;-)
