Last month, just before I fell into blogging silence, Susan Kitchens of 2020 Hindsight (and a former neighbor) "tagged" me with the "Four Things" meme that had been bouncing around the internets for most of the past year. Now that I'm waking again, here are mine:
Four Jobs I've Had:
- Fireworks delivery truck driver

- Track Starter (I was packin' a real .38)
- Van's shoe seller (during the first Off the Wall craze)
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over
- Local Hero
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- Chariots of Fire
- Pulp Fiction
Four Books I Have Read Over and Over (This is from Susan. Does not include books you've read to your children when they were small).
- Gaudy Night - Dorothy Sayers (Me, too, Susan)
- Wonder Boys - Michael Chabon

- Kern River (caught a fish when I was five)

Four TV Shows I Love

(My addition) Four Things That Make Me Warmly Happy

I too love the Oki burrito from El Tapyac, it is affordable and delicous.
I bit and added this BS to my blog.
"Talking Points Memo" isn't about that slacker, Memo Gonzalez, is it? ;)
Bob, I have to say that I miss your rants.
Here's to hoping that I have the correct Bob Ramsey. I've looked through a few of the posts and all of them lead me to believe that you either are the man I knew, or Glendora has gotten a second Bob Ramsey in the period of twenty or so years. In 1990, way back when, when I was a youngin' of 22 I was an Youth Pastor at Glendora Friends under his pastorate...and that man would have been around 9,490 days old at the time. Wonderin' if this Bob's wife's name is Wendy...'cause that would seal the deal. How bizarre would this be if this was the same guy!??
He only checks his own blog once evry other month so get ready to wait in order to find out.
Hmmm...well Jeff, I've waited almost 20 years and it certainly hasn't "hounded" me ...:). However, the time in waiting has allowed me to peruse more & more of his journal entries and I believe it is a foregone conclusion that this IS in fact the very man that I served (happily, I might add) under for a time. But thanks for the heads up!
