Lisa at Mesh East tagged me with a 8 for 2008 meme. Well, why not?

In keeping with the theme, here are eight facts that you probably don’t know about me:

1. I ran a 10K race when I was 19. Well, I jogged it, really, but I did complete it without walking and I even managed a bit of a sprint at the end. I haven’t done anything that remarkable since then except?
2. I climbed Mt. Katahdin in Maine when I was 21. It’s made up of walking trails although it can be quite a chore to move upward in some places. I haven’t done anything that remarkable since then.
3. I almost had an article published in a short-lived Canadian magazine called Onset back in 1994 or 1995. My article got pulled by the editor shortly before publication and I never heard back afterward. It’s a long-standing source of chagrin for me, but I shall have my revenge in 2008!
4. I went to a Motley Crue concert in 1990. I put my hands over my ears at one point and it didn’t make a darned bit of difference.
5. I visited Vimy Ridge in France in 1998. The Vimy Ridge site is actually Canadian soil, given to Canada by the French government after World War I.
6. I own a copy of Adventure Comics #300 which would be worth about $500.00 in top condition. My copy is mid-gradeish, but it?s still worth something.
7. I used to buy and sell collectible card game (CCG) cards on eBay as a hobby.
8. Jimi Hendrix was one of my musical idols in my 20s.  I still think that he was a musical genius.

Alas, I shall not pass on the meme, but, of course, anyone may carry it forward if they wish.
