- Share 7 random things about yourself.

When I wrote my first blog in early August, I had only recently learned what blogging was! Since then, I have developed many rewarding and interesting relationships with a wide variety of people whose work I respect and enjoy reading every day. These writers not only write fun and entertaining blogs, but have been extremely supportive and helpful throughout the whole process of launching and developing my blog.These include, in no particular order because I love them all:
Seven Fun Facts About Myself
7. Whle working as an usher in high school, I once tried to kick “Mr. Cub” Ernie Banks out of Wrigley Field because I didn’t recognize him. I’m a White Sox fan.
6. I once served a room service cheeseburger to the King of Soul, James Brown.
5. Despite being a classically trained chef, I could eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and before I was married, I frequently did).
4. In high school, I played guitar in a band called Blackjack. We sucked.
3. I attended Notre Dame during the awful Jerry Faust football years. Two years after I graduated, the Fighting Irish won the national championship under Lou Holtz.
2. My hobby is doing laundry. I’m not even kidding.
1. I have written a screenplay and am about halfway through my first novel.
Thank you again for this honor. It is nice to be recognized for all the hard work that goes into writing a daily blog!

Thank you Dan 🙂 Just so happens that my task list at work has cleared significantly so I will be able to do my blog in response during breaks today. Warm Holiday Wishes to you and your family this season!
Fantastic! Couldn’t happen to a better blogger, or a nicer (online) guy (because honestly, I don’t know you in real life. You might be the guy that walks r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y down the middle of the sidewalk during rush hour!)
Congratulati9ons, and well deserved!
