Thanks to both of you, I think. I’m going to reply because I know there are those out there that are anxious to read what I write (hi mom!).

The goal (if there really is one) is to watch how a meme can travel through the blogosphere, jumping from community to community in viral fashion. So you need to go and publish your 5 things on your blog, backlink to me, and infect, er, link-tag 5 more people... Think of it as the informational equivalent of ‘the wave’.

Is this some weird way of checking to see if read your blog? Ok, in chronological order: 1. I was born in Ankara, Turkey. During childhood, my mom drilled it into my head that I *must not* enter Turkey until I was over 35, lest I risk being drafted into the Turkish army. The Turks apparently considered me a citizen, even though I was born to US parents. 2. I spent several years growing up in Okinawa on a small "Army" base at the southern end of the island. We were surrounded by Nike missle installations, and had a large antenna farm at one end of the base where no one was allowed to go. Of the 300 families on base, only a couple were actually "Army". Everyone else wore trenchcoats and dark glasses. 3. In high school in California, I was an avid rock climber. I still have my "Go Climb a Shirt" rock. Late at night, my compadres and I would develop climbing routes on and in our school building. By climbing inside walls and ceilings, we had access to every single square foot of the school. Many pranks ensued, including certainly illegal wiretaps. 4. I'm an avid sailplane pilot (and a less-avid airplane pilot). http://www.asa-soaring.org is my soaring club. 5. I've gone from being a DINK to a SITKA ("single income, three kids, Aiyeeeee!) Molly, Scott, and Ryan are 10, 9, and 6 1/2, respectively. Five things you’d never know about me?
