1. I can say words backward instantly. No, I haven’t memorized how to say ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ backward yet so don’t ask.
2. When I say I’ve had about 40 jobs, I mean it. Yes, 40(ish) real, distinct, different jobs and they’ve taught me a lot and I don’t regret the diversity.
3. I’ve been on all 6 inhabited continents. Just need stinkin’ Antarctica.
4. My favorite place on earth is the Barnstable Yacht Club (above). It’s just so beautiful and stuffed with memories and contains all that is good about the world.
5. I’ve never been in a real fight, but kind of want to. Like Tyler Durden said, “How much can you know about yourself if you’ve never been in a fight?”
6. It’s hard for me to be interested in other people unless they’re really interesting. I know this isn’t a good thing — and I’m working on it — but I’m trying to be honest here.
7. I secretly loved being quasi-famous for a minute. Is that bad?
8. My favorite book in the world is a toss up between The Great Divorce and Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl. It’s not surprising that both address life, death, and what happens after.
9. I struggle a lot with faith and trust and belief etc. — more so as I learn more. As Vernon Grounds said, “As the island of my knowledge grows, so does the shoreline of my questioning.”
