8 Random Facts

Logtar tagged me with a meme to post 8 Random Facts about yours truly. These are things that most people don’t know about me, so I thought it would be pretty fun. So, off we go…

I have visited over half of the 50 states in the U.S., but I’ve never left North America. I’m hoping to change this soon.

I had an opportunity to go on a 35 mile backpacking trek in the Sierras back during my early teen years when I was in scouts. Hiking past the tree line up to 14k feet where there is snow, even in the middle of July, was really damn cool.

I’ve broken my nose while bodyboarding (face first, right into the sand in shallow water).

I’ve broken my head while mountain biking… Took off a jump and bit it hard. Walked a few miles back to my apartment with my shirt held on the top of my head to stop the bleeding. The doctors used the medical equivalent of a staple gun to sew me back up. That event taught me to always wear a helmet while riding.

I met my wife, Katrina, at the same location that Katrina’s parents met several years earlier.

I have not seen any movie of the Star Wars trilogy in it’s entirety.

Cereal makes a good breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I can’t stand going to see doctors or dentists… I do have regular dentist cleanings, but I haven’t been to see a doctor in the past 4+ years.
