I’ve been tagged by David Eaves in a kind of social media “you’re it.”

I’m not sure where the 7 things meme got started or what it is supposed to do, but here goes:

1. I started out as a child. I was a huge fan of Bill Cosby’s comedy and used to listed to his records in our basement, over and over and…

2. I’m a huge music fan, but the first record that I bought with my own money was Elvis Presley’s Flaming Star

3. I was born in Chicago, though I only lived there for 6 months

4. I am a proud graduate of Earlham College and sometimes consider myself a Quaker in virtue of my attendance there.

5. I am of Romanian heritage and will share the only Romanian joke I’ve ever hear, which I flatter myself I do a great LIVE version of: “Do you know the difference between a Romanian and a Yugoslav? Well, they would both sell you their grandmother. The difference is that the Romanian would deliver.”

6. I once named a cat after my childhood hero, Mexican American activist Caesar Chavez

7. I met my wife Moira in Kindergarten, where we were both attending the Priory School in Montreal

My 7 people are:
