Five Things

NOT ONE for chain letters, I will take the bait tossed by Dervala to stoke the meme of five things people might not know about me. I'll even talk about it. This five things meme is a regular get-to-know-me item on Technorati. And because it comes from Dervala Hanley, it will attract more click-ons than a post written by any other Irish blogger. We cannot disappoint--here are my five things:

1. During the Christmas holidays of 2006, one of my Flickr images was Photoshopped and placed nearly dead centre on billboards next to the N8 around every 12 miles between Cork and Abbeyleix.

2. My glasses fog up whenever I flash back to the underside of a Northrup T-38 pulling 3Gs directly toward my seat.

3. I really do not like the assumption of a Full Irish.

4. For a 15-month period of my life, a series of flights I flew were disavowed by the US government, including one I finished with three bullet holes and another with palm fronds stuck in the right wing.

5. I once stood inside an ice cream truck when 72 people were dying outside.

Knowing the chain of this meme will probably break with my selections, I tag Gavin Sheridan, Helena Kim, Phil Bourke, David Ippolito and Richard Delevan.
