10 Things ...

Laurie asked us all to post our "ten things you don't know about me" lists. I figure that many of you barealy know 1 thing about me, so it is appropriate for me to kick this off. Here goes:

Ten Things You Don't Know About John Brownell

1. I dream of opening a putt-putt golf course in Missoula.

2. I disco dance in the shower. And sing opera. Sometimes simultaneously.

3. When I was 14, I had a perm and a mullet. At the same time. A "permullett". Although I believe I was able to successfully destroy all photographic evidence.

4. I am a Neil Diamond fan.

5. I have 6 computers, 5 video game systems, 4 satellite receivers, 3 Tivos, 2 High Def TVs (and a partridge in a pear tree) ... but i mostly enjoy playing solitaire on my cellphone.

6. I like food. All food. I can't think of a single kind of food that I don't like. Mmmmm... food. Okay, now I am hungry.

7. My high school sports team was actually called "The Cranes". And we had a sister school - "The Aardvarks". No joke.

8. I hate clocks that "tick". I find it completely unsettling. Once I become aware of the sound of a ticking clock in the room, I am entirely unable to focus on anything else.

9. I have been a Detroit Lions football fan since I was born, and I fully (perhaps foolishly) believe I will see them win a championship before I die of old age. In the last 7 years they are a stunning 31-81, so it may be a while.

10. Sometimes, I secretly wish I was a lawn mower. Not the person, but the actual machine.
