Edward Michael George, the eloquent blogger with the endearing slogan (“Semper Poo Poo”), has tagged me for the meme to list six unimportant facts/quirks/habits about myself.  This is similar to a meme I participated in last July but, since EMG gave me a compliment along with the tag, here goes—with an extra quirk besides.

  1. My nickname around the office is "Crash".

  2. Perhaps my greatest disappointment about Whitehorse is that it does not have a really good Mexican restaurant.  (There is one Mexican restaurant that is highly regarded by many locals, but to me it’s just OK.)

  3. Every winter, my legs itch for no apparent reason.  Sometimes I awake in the middle of the night scratching my legs.  I think it's an allergy to something in home heating oil.

  4. This will probably shock some conservative bloggers: I am addicted to Law and Order and Law and Order: Criminal Intent.  SVU, however, sucks, IMHO.

  5. Twice in the early 1970s, I was searched at the US-Canada border: once entering Canada at Cloverdale, BC; the other entering the US at International Falls, MN.  No major contraband was discovered on either occasion.

  6. Every Saturday morning at 8 am, I set off on the weekly grocery shopping expedition.

  7. Left sock, right sock, right slipper, left slipper.

Now I’m supposed to tag six more unsuspecting bloggers.  Make that seven—the final one is a bonus.

  1. Rebecca Stark
  2. Binks
  3. Peter at The Age To Come
  4. Michael Daley (aka Binks II) at The Lambeth Conference
  5. Kate (aka Mrs Falstaff) at The Hairy Eyeball
  6. The Sheepcat
  7. Joe Walker at felix hominum, the blog where memes go to die
