25 random things about me

From the Facebook game that seems to be going around of late...I thought I'd just post my 25 random things here, too, because I'm pretty sure I'll never make it to the "20 questions" part of the local paper.

1. I won a band scholarship after HS, but rarely ever touch the saxophone.
2. I own my own set of mining gear.
3. I am licensed to carry a concealed weapon in Ohio, but don't normally pack heat at the playground.
4. There was a time when I did not like coffee. That was long ago and far away.
5. I have slept in a cow pasture after having cooked my dinner over a pile of flaming turds.
6. I really wish I could speak polish.
7. I have a freckle on my butt.
8. I can double curl my tongue.
