I’ve been tagged by blogger Denise Wakeman, half of The Blog Squad, in a fun Internet game of tag designed to introduce bloggers to each other and bring more traffic to our blogs.
Everyone who’s tagged is asked to share five things about themselves that people don’t know, then tag five other bloggers.
Here goes:
1. In 1970, I was the first girl to win a sports letter at Lumen Cordium High School in Bedford, Ohio, an all-girls Catholic high school.
2. I rode on a sleigh pulled by reindeer in Finland.
3. When I worked as a reporter in Ohio, I went to the bottom of a Morton Salt Co. mine to write about what it’s like to be a miner. Did you know they ride around down there on golf carts?
4. In my office, I have a die-cast scale model of my first car, a white 1963 Chevy Nova, affectionally referred to as “The White Tornado.”
5. I’m a biker babe. In the summer, there’s nothing better than riding on the back of a Gold Wing, taking in the sights and smells of the Wisconsin countryside.
Tag, you’re it—Dan Janal, Suzanne Falter-Barns, Tom Antion, Alexandria Brown and Bob Baker. Tell us something we didn’t know.
I love your version of Tag, Joan. You did have several on your list that I didn’t know! Let’s see if I can come up with five fun things you didn’t know about me.
1. From 16-20 I worked part time in a factory in Antioch, Illinois. We made lamps, shot glasses, and Jim Beam decorative whiskey bottles. It fostered my love of art AND my desire to go to college and not have to work in a factory.
2. I used to work for the Milwaukee Journal (now the Journal-Sentinel), taking complaints on classified ads that had run incorrectly. Now part of my job is proofreading my own ezine, Brainy Tidbits, Joan Stewart’s ezine, and other written works.
3. I am the editor of a magazine about getting rid of landmines called the Journal of Mine Action.
4. I used to sing in 5 choirs during high school. (Someday I’ll get back to singing.)
5. I’m writing a book of stories about my family’s crazy doings called “It Ain’t Just the Beer” and another book about fabulous women entrepreneurs called “Success Stories of Women Entrepreneurs.”
