Oh All Right.... 24 Random Things On a Random Wednesday
Wed Jan 28 2009

1. I have developed a little muscle spasm in my right eye in the last few days.
It started after the inauguration.
This means something.

2. I know how to milk a goat.

3. I used to wake my boys up for school singing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" in a proper stage voice.

4. I tried to climb Mount Shasta.  Twice.

5. I have gone for a swim in a mountain lake that still had ice floating in it.

6. I count brussels sprouts among my favorite vegetables.

7. I taught myself to play the guitar and have written and performed several songs.

8. I can write my name forwards with my right hand and backwards with my left hand at the same time. 

9. A horse kicked me and broke my arm when I was in the sixth grade.

10. I was born one month overdue. Thanks to castor oil. [Hey mom, you're a trooper.]

11. I am a pretty good shot with a 22 rifle.

12. One time Robbie and I chased a whole herd of about 100 cows out of a mountain meadow we were camping in. We wanted the place to ourselves!

13. I have climbed Pilot Rock.

14. I know how to make old fashioned soap with fats and lye.

15. 24 Random Things is a LOT of things to think up.

16. I have grown some kind of vegetable garden for 37 years in a row.
       [Row, get it? Row.]

17. If I could live anywhere in the world I wanted to, it would be Scotland.

18. Someday I really want to visit the state of Maine. I think I would like it there for some reason.

19. Is it just me, or does Mick Jaggar creep you out?

20. I used to work as a nurse's aide in a psychiatric ward.

21. Deep down, I am a survivalist, and would like to have a bunker like the movie 'Blast From The Past'.

22. I hate computers. I love computers. Cognitive Dissonance ensues.

23. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan is my hero.

24. I have to stop now and go to yoga class.

(Can I play?)

Maybe later.

    I find these interesting and appreciate your effort! I didn't realize you played guitar and composed and performed music. I wish I had a voice, I just love the guitar and always envy those who can sit in a group around fireplace or campfire (or wherever) with a guitar and have a sing-a-long kind of thing. Learning the guitar is an interest of mine but I am not sure it's going to get priority as my days get shorter and I have to choose where my time is spent. Your #8 is truly impressive!

    Impressive list!
    #8 is very interesting. I would like to see that sometime.
    Brussel sprouts are one of my favs, too.

    #2-very cool!
    #3-you'd only do that once in this household unless you had some sort of death wish

    #8-I thought that was biologically impossible but then again, so are duck feet on humans.
    #17-ditto, again (is that a reduncency?)
    #19-on sooooooo many levels

    Can we add things you haven't? There would be lots more than 24 and all good.

    God Bless.....Parett

    Great list!I'm afraid singing Oh What A Beautiful morning in the AM in this house would get you gifted with something not at all nice. :-)) I would love to hear you perform the songs you have written some time. #8 I have to see!!!
