TEROCIOUS - 8 random things about me..
.
*In fourth grade I fell deeply in love with Veronica Szabo. I knew she loved me too because on Valentines Day she gave out little cards to the whole class but I was the only one to receive a purple lollipop with my valentine. I swore I would never eat it. About a week later I got really sick with a fever and delirium. I thought for sure I was going to die so I ate Veronica’s lollipop.
*I was a founding member of KITUS, a theatre company which has morphed into an excellent training facility for young and old actors. They also continue to mount daring and original performances.
*My cousin Denise trained police dogs when I was growing up. Occasionally we would be at her house visiting and two or more of her dogs would get into a spontaneous row. On one such incident I was standing right next to Cruiser, a rottweiler when he decided to go after one of the shepherds. Cruiser locked his teeth on the other and the shepherd was screaming in pain. Denise, who was on the other side of the room, pointed at the wood pile next to me and shouted “hit him”! I must have looked at her like a deer that was caught in the high beams because she slowly but still with great force enunciated “PICK UP A LOG AND HIT HIM.” I did so, only letting the split quarter of a log fall with the force of its own weight on Cruisers head. He let go of the Shepherd and shook out his head exactly like in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. Suddenly everything was back to normal. It was as if there had been no fight at all.
*I have had many dreams where everything is lit as though in full daylight but the sky is pitch black.
*When I was around twelve, and my mother and I were returning home from my aunts on the star lit back roads of rural Delaware, we saw a fireball come down from the sky and land in a field behind a stand of trees.
*I have been searching for years for just the right tool belt. A well laid out belt speeds the work and makes any project more pleasurable and productive. The one I have now is large but when worn with leather suspenders it is a well balanced and comfortable rig.
*I was lucky enough to own an Atari 800 around the time when they were first released. I was 14 years old at the time. My mother was single and I am sure she had to give up a lot to buy it for me. Thank you again Mom, I learned a lot on that machine.
*I live in a renovated 1 room schoolhouse that was built by John H. Hudson in 1883.
