7 Random Facts About Me

My wife has tagged me to share 7 random facts about myself. Here are my facts:

1. I almost never go barefooted, about the only times I go barefooted is when taking a shower or swimming. I always have to have at least a pair of socks on my feet.
2. When it comes to driving I am a control freak. If I am not driving, I am almost more alert than when I am driving; looking for hazards, dangerous drivers, or commenting on the habits or driving of the person behind the wheel. I used to catch myself going for the “imaginary” brake pedal on the passenger side. (I am a horrible backseat driver).
3. I have a tendency to collect electronics or especially computer parts. Many times I think “I could use that someday” and pick it up, whether or not I ever will use it. I am an electronics pack-rat. My wife has forced me to get rid of about half of what I had, which has done me some good. I don’t really have any interest in collecting the other stuff that most people have a tendency to collect, just the electronics and computer gadgets.
4. When I was around 5-6 years old I would go to my grandmothers house and pick a wagon full of lemons and I would go around the neighborhood selling them door to door for 5 cents each. My grandmother painted a picture of me just a couple years ago sitting by my wagon full of lemons with a sale sign, this painting hangs on my wall above my kitchen table.
5. My wife sometimes calls me the human dictionary, because I have a huge vocabulary and have a tendency to remember sometimes obscure words and their meanings. Growing up I was a book worm, and would normally be reading a book way ahead of my years. I would often go and ask my mom what this word meant or what that word meant. My mother got out the dictionary and told me to look it up. So when I ran out of books I read the dictionary, or a thesaurus, or a whole volume of encyclopedias (no joke).
6. I am a big astronomy and physics buff. I am one of the only non-college educated people I know who has a working knowledge and understanding of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, Quantum Physics, and other theoretical physics.
7. Throughout my childhood I have moved at least 30 or more times, I’ve attended probably a dozen or more different schools from grade school through high school. I’ve lived in the following states/countries as well: California,Washington, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska, Hawaii, Okinawa Japan.
