Me: The Night Writer, John Stewart; 50 years old and smart enough to have married my trophy wife first.
Working on those Night Memes...
After three years of doing this blog thing I don't know that there are six little known facts about me left undisclosed, but I'll see what I can do with the meme that Jroosh tagged me with.
Six Little Known Facts About Me:
1. I hate most vegetables, especially green beans, beets and brussel sprouts. One time I was grievously deceived when I what I thought was a bowl of fried, diced potatoes was actually parsnips. I still shudder at the recollection.
2. I couldn’t wait to sign up for band in 6th grade because I really wanted to play the trumpet. Somehow or another I let the band instructor talk me into playing the tenor saxophone. Five years later I finally quit (probably about the time my parents finished paying the damn thing off).
3. As an adult I also took banjo lessons for awhile. I concluded that banjo players aren’t really as happy as they look.
4. The greatest days of my life were October 10, 1987; August 18, 1988 and February 10, 1994.
5. So far I have only discovered three games in which I have a natural aptitude: football, bumper pool and Trivial Pursuit. Now I’m too old to play football, I haven’t seen a bumper pool table in 35 years, and no one who knows me will play Trivial Pursuit with me anymore.
6. I will turn 50 on Thursday, April 3. Coincidentally, this “little known fact” also lines up with Trivia Night at Keegan’s, which I will be attending. Show up and see if an old dog has learned any new tricks.
