Adventures with Sarah

Sarah tagged me to do this meme several weeks ago. I’m just now getting around to it; something about Ten Things. Sarah has one of the most positive and charming blogs around. Stop in. Sorry to keep you waiting, Sarah. I'm a member of Procrastinators Anonymous...or at least I will be soon as I get around to signing up.

1. I’ve only bought one brand new vehicle, my 1993 Ford Ranger—and I still drive it. It only has 150,000 miles on it. Pretty good, huh?
2. I recently gave My First Wife her second set of wedding rings. (Read about it here.)
3. My First Wife and I have three kids.
4. I have four blogs.
5. I’m thinking about opening a fifth. I mean a fifth blog with nothing but photos.
6. I can carry six small wine glasses in one hand. I can carry 16 in one hand if they’re empty.
7. At least seven trains a day go past our office windows. Each one has 150 cars of coal, pulled by two engines and pushed by one.
8. At work, I usually park in the 8th parking place. Eight is the number for “new beginnings,” and His mercies are new, beginning every morning.
9. Here are nine famous people that I served when I was in the restaurant business. There are a few others, but I’m stopping at nine.

• Mickey Mantle (often enough to become friends with him)*
• Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker (he always addressed me by my first name)**
• Tom Landry; Dallas Cowboys coach
• Mary Kay Ashe; founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics**
• Jinger Heath; founder of BeautiControl Cosmetics (she helped me heal when I got burned)**
• Sen. John Tower; R–Tex
• Brooks Robinson; Hall of Fame 3rd Baseman
• Van Cliburn; world’s greatest pianist
• Roger Staubach; Hall of Fame quarterback

And finally, there are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary and those who don’t.


* Many, many times. ** More than once.
