A Big Goose Egg

Well, I've resigned myself to the fact that I probably won't be running this week (unless I can get one in tomorrow morning). With the kitchen remodel and the entire household being sick, there's just no time at all. I return to the roads on Monday with a new sense of motivation. In the meantime, I have been tagged by Topher.

Ten Years Ago Today
I was living in Phoenix working at a local TV affiliate as a photog/editor. I would love to be in Phoenix this week. My sister and some friends are going to the NFL experience and the Bud Bowl.

5 Things on my To-Do List
Didn't know if this was an "all-time" to do list or a "this week" to do list. I can't imagine anyone would want to read about how I need to get groceries.
All-Time:
-Run a marathon
-Attend all 4 major golf events (Masters, U.S. Open, British, PGA)
-Travel to Ireland
-Attend a mass given by the Pope. (preferably in Vatican City)
-Travel Route 66

Snacks I Enjoy

-Snickers Popables
-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
-Peanut Butter Granola Bars
-Planters Peanuts

Things I'd Do if I were a Billionaire
-Set my kids up with a trust fund so they don't have to worry about money
-Tell my kids they don't get the money unless they go to school, get a job, and work for a living
.
-Buy a plane (and hire a pilot) so my wife and I can do the things on my all-time Top 5 list.

-Have Warren Buffet close Nebraska Furniture Mart and Borsheims for one day so my wife and I can go shopping.
*note - Warren actually did this for Bill Gates. Why should I be any different?
-Keep teaching.
-Buy a golf course.
-Buy a house near/at Augusta National.
-Donate on an annual basis to charities/schools of my choice.


Three of My Bad Habits
-I interrupt people
-I procrastinate
-I don't listen well

5 Places I've Lived

Iowa City, IA
Phoenix, AZ
Lincoln, NE
Tempe, AZ

5 Jobs I've Had

Newscast Director
DJ
Teacher
Commercial Producer
Golf Technician (it sounds a lot cooler than it actually is)

5 Things People Don't Know About Me
-I have a running blog (most of my friends don't know I have one)
-I'm a closet American Idol fan
-I hate talking on the telephone
-Clowns scare the bejeezus out of me
-I've never had a hole-in-one and I'm jealous that my mom has had 5 or 6 (I've lost count)


So, do I tag someone(s), now?

Hate to talk on the phone, yet you LOVE anything having to do with a phone that sparkles, lights up, rings, or blinks. 'Splain that.

I think I'd still teach too, even if I was a billionare. But maybe only three days a week!

For the right amount of money and donuts, I'll dress up like a clown and chase you in your first marathon. That'd be my little contribution to helping you get a PR.

None of my friends know about my blog either. As much as I like my blog, I kind of like it being somewhat anonymous. I feel like I'd censor myself if they were reading.
