-I am a member of the Des Moines (Iowa) Public Schools hall of fame, mostly for test scores
-I'm a huge baseball geek
-My brain works very 'mathematically' - this translates into good mastery of language and music as well (but nothing else)
-I think in song lyrics - often I pick up lyrics the first time I hear a song, and it can take me days to get songs out of my head
-on the same note, I'm a huge pop-music geek, and I love to play guitar (but hate playing in front of people)
-My grandfather earned 17 high school letters, my father 6, and myself 4 . . . only 4 of these letters (total) overlap in subject.
-The song "Santeria" by Sublime has been playing during almost every major relationship event in my life.
-When I wake up, I can often guess the time before looking at the clock (to the minute; we're talking like 50% of the time)
-I'm the only golfer in my extended family without a hole in one (most have multiple).
-I was born the same day as my best friend growing up (within 15 min of each other), and we've known each other since we were 3.
-I honestly love Iowa, and often miss it when I'm at school in Boston (not my actual house, but the area).
