Marc Orchant has tagged me in the "8 random things" meme (I’ll get you for this) so here are eight random things about me:

1. I’ve been to Paris 11 times.
2. The longest trip I’ve been on was 20+ hours flying from Houston to Muscat, Oman.  I returned after an 8 hour meeting.
3. I have lived under martial law for 3 weeks.
4. I have witnessed first-hand a civil war in the making.
5. I learned to program on an IBM 1130 mini in high school.
6. I have owned 4 convertibles.
7. I was a singer in a rock band.
8. I want to write a novel about someone accused of a crime because the GPS locator in his phone puts him at the scene of a murder when it happens.

OK, that’s all for me.  Here are the lucky people I am tagging:

Kevin Tofel (you knew you weren’t getting out of this, right?)

Matt Miller

Dwight Silverman
