Another One

So I've been tagged....by Bree Wee.

For those of you who don't know who she is, you will.

1) She is from the Big Island of Hawaii...so she has that going for her (not that I'm biased or anything) and

2) She recently finished the World Championships in Kona with a time of 9:47.
She broke her age group record and had the fastest time of any female age group competitor EVER.

"Wee, 27, broke the 25-29-year-old age group record that had been set by Tyler Stewart (9:53:41) in 2006. Wee, who finished 13th among the women at the race, also broke the women's age grouper record set by 24-year-old Kate Major (9:49:33) in 2002."

so...from Bree:

Aloha Crash... tag you're it!Shirley tagged me with a "meme"... darn it! So I have to tag 5 other people. Your job is to tell 5 random facts about yourself, then tag 5 others to do the same:)

1) As a child I had a strange addiction to alfalfa sprouts - I would eat them by the handful. I would stuff them in the pockets of my Oshkosh's to eat later. A favorite picture of my mom's is one where I had climbed into the refrigerator, thrown everything breakable onto the floor just to get at a package of alfalfa sprouts...never mind the fact that I was 16. OK, I'm kidding I must have been 2. Really.

2) I absolutely hate scary movies. To the point where I will not let my wife watch them, talk about them or even think about them....ok she can think about them, but I better not find out.

3) Strange addiction #2: Mustard sandwiches. I love nothing better than a mustard sandwich (yes, that's mustard only - on bread) made with Columbo sour dough from San Fransisco. I'll take 'em made with other bread but it isn't the same.

4) I grew up in a town of 780 people. We didn't get a stop light until I was a senior in high school. I should, and need, to caveat that with I didn't grow up completely in the sticks. Sacramento was only a 30 minute drive away.

5) Both of my arms are double-jointed. It was great fun in elementary school freaking people out with my flexibility....well, to tell you the truth, it still is.

Now, as for tag, I don't play tag. I play dodge ball.
