The Game of Four

The oft-imitated but never duplicated Honeyvizer tagged me for "The Game of Four." So let's see how I do:

Four jobs you've had in your life: Well, I've been doing what I'm doing practically all my life. So ... 1. newspaper reporter/photographer; 2. dispatcher for a security firm; 3. copy boy at a daily newspaper (now we're back to college); 4. office clerk for laundry products company.

Four movies you could watch over and over: 1. The Seven Samurai; 2. Yellow Submarine; 3. Petrified Forest (Humphrey Bogart); 4. It's a Gift (W.C. Fields).

Four places you've lived: Geez, not much variety here, either. Oh well. 1. Iron River, MI; 2. Iron Mountain, MI; 3. Milwaukee; 4. Menomonee Falls, WI. Some variety, eh?

Four TV shows you love to watch: I just don't watch a lot of TV--gone at night too often. 1. The Weather Channel; 2. Turner Classic Movies; 3. CBC's political satire shows ("Air Farce," "22 Minutes"); 4. TV hockey and baseball.

Four places you've been on vacation: What can I say? Zero variety: 1. Duluth, MN; 2. the Twin Cities, MN; 3. Chicago; 4. Sault Ste. Marie, ON. I love the train ride that goes north from the Soo.

Four websites you visit daily: Hmmm. Well. 1. Modblog (of course!); 2. Cricinfo.com; 3. Google News; 4. Weather Underground.

Four of your favorite foods: 1. pizza; 2. tacos; 3. chicken caesar salad; 4. tuna pinwheels--one of my wife's recipes, except she hasn't made them for about five years now. Don't know why. :(

Four places you'd rather be: That's tough. How about places I'd like to visit someday? 1. London--the one in England; 2. Toronto; 3. Melbourne, OZ; 4. Seattle or some other place with an open-minded population.

Four albums you can't live without: 1. Howlin' Wolf, "Howling at Midnight"; 2. "Meddle," Pink Floyd; 3. "Revolver," the Beatles; 4. "Electric Ladyland," Hendrix.

Incidentally, the order in which I list these has no significance whatsoever. And there are certainly things I forgot. But hey, I'm in my mid 50s, so I'm subject to CRS at the drop of a hat.

(What? I didn't mention "Coach's Corner" on "Hockey Night in Canada?")

In other news ... my wife is back to normal ... the weather here has been yucky--lots of freezing drizzle lately; the sun is somewhere up there, I guess, but I haven't seen a true shadow for a long time ... I took the plunge and ordered an iPod today; yesterday, I finally installed the USB 2.0 card on my puter so I can transfer my MP3s ... now I'm looking at a DVD recorder ... and in the not-too-distant future (a month or two or three) I'm going be saying, "Dude, I'm gettin' a Dell."
