4. I taught kindergarten for a year.
5. I wrestled varsity in college. Lettered 3 years.
6. I thought I might be an atheist from age 14 to about 28 - but it turned out I was just stuck in a very bad mood.

11. I've broken at least 5 distinct large bones not counting noses, toes, fingers/thumbs, or ribs. Too many of those to count.
