4 x 4 things about me

I received this meme via email and thought I'd give it some bloglegs instead - renaming the meme 4x4.  Interesting to see the "n things" make its way around in a different channel.  I was also tagged by Shiv Singh a while back but dropped the ball. (sorry!)

The list I received had nine groups, which seemed odd to me for lists of four - but let's roll with it.  So here's my 4x4:

Four jobs I've had in my life:
1. Ice cream scooper at White Mountain Creamery.  First paid job ever.
2. Tennis instructor for Louisville Metro Parks.
3. Firewood broker.  Arbitrage in the community, buying at $30 from one side of town and selling at $50 on the other.
4. Stockbroker's assistant.  Called inactive clients all summer long.  One lived in Hawaii, who I woke up at 5 am.  More than one was dead, which explained the inactivity.

Four TV shows I DVR:
1. Prison Break
2. American Idol
3. Lost
4. 24 (despite its growing y/y plot ridiculousness)

Four places I've been:
1. New Iberia, Louisiana (on a July 4th weekend - hottest place ever)
2. Mobridge, South Dakota (due diligence on a warehouse)
3. Pyongyang, North Korea (its a long story)
4. Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (nothing better than a free Spring Break trip)

Four favorite foods:
1. Chipotle burritos
2. In-N-Out burgers
3. Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches
4. Korean fried chicken

I'd like to hear about from these four bloggers: Chris Brogan, Josh Hallett, Brian Haven, and Jeremiah Owyang.  Come to think of it, would love these four as well:  Ann Handley, Toby Bloomberg, Becky Carroll, and Marianne Richmond, too!

(If you prefer to substitute, the other groups were: people who email me regularly, places I'd rather be right now, people I think will respond, things I look forward to next year, and music artists I'm listening to right now.)

Better late than never? Thanks for the invite--I'm on it! But, you didn't qualify your In-N-Out with a brisk bike ride on a chilly Las Vegas night...

There's nothing like a meme to brighten my day and to help break the monotony of my blog. I think I'll put this up on my personal blog and allow people to see a bit more of myself. It's funny how the simplest details about yourself can seen so fascinating to others. The fun part is not only in the comments that follow but also in the process of answering where one rediscovers something about himself or herself.

Thanks for the tag, Peter! I will think on this and create my list(s).
