    Dave was in a local band during high school, and the drummer for that bad was giving me drum lessons. Since I had a pick-up truck, I used to carry their equipment around to their shows and help them setup. My claim to fame! :laugh:

    My wife is like this. "The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" is like her bible and she watches all those FBI & true crime types of shows. Needless to say, I sleep with one eye open. :laugh:

    2.) I speak conversational french and no spanish even though i'm 1/2 mexican.

    3.) I'm almost legally blind in 1 eye and the second isn't far behind.

    4.) I hate avocado, fish, and nuts. Don't like the taste or texture of avocado or fish, and nuts make me crazy thirsty.

    5.) I use to be a professional ballerina.
