In my better days I was able to burp the alphabet twice in one burp.

Three weeks after I got married I broke 4 ribs and cracked 2 others and had to sleep in a recliner for 2 months.

I have never watched the movie Goonies all the way through. I could not even tell you what it is about.

I find silence in face-to-face conversation to be almost unbearable, and so always find myself talking too much.

That isn't useless. I know of a lot of people that have made careers out of that talent!

I still have dreams of being a drummer in a rock band, only I don't play the drums.

Another thing about me: I don't have cable TV. So I don't know about this sort of stuff.

I've been reading through the book "Christianity's Dangerous Idea" by Alister McGrath since January. I keep having more pressing books to read (mostly for classes--I figured I'd finish this over the summer, but there's only a week left before classes start up again).

For a time, my father's father worked for one of the circuses that wintered in his town, Peru, Indiana.

His sister (my great aunt) is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Peru, Indiana, not too far from Cole Porter's gravesite in that same cemetery.
