In no particular order, or with no rhyme or reason in mind, here are a few little-known factoids about me (mostly, for your amusement, rather than amazement):
- I’m a former Commodities broker who became fascinated with the world of “futures trading” due to the movie Trading Places and the book The New Gatsbys.
- I have a hard-time hating Tom Cruise (but, I want to).
- I’m a fanatic for the “Madness” of March. I practically sequester myself from everybody every March because I’m a hardcore college basketball fan.
- I’m attracted to two main colors: aqua blue and orange (duh!)
- I once got lost on a Grecian island (Corfu) only to be saved, led down a mountain, by a wilderness dweller and his donkey.
- I detest the word “detest.” 2nd runner up: “seep.”
- My love for street, and homemade, tacos borders on the obsessive.
- A Navy SEALs wife once reprimanded me for thinking her ‘Hot Yoga‘ practice was just for… er… well, “hot chicks in spandex.” So, well, I surrendered and sweated my ass off daily for a whole year.
- Speaking of, a few of her husbands band of brothers, 7 years prior, sorta surprised me with their revelation of their self-awareness work (the story is here)
- If I could pick one superpower, it would be to be to be ‘invisible” at will. I’ve always wanted to be a legit Spy. Either that or I just can’t let go of the twisted plot in the movie Hollow Man, staring Kevin Bacon. Creeply, I know.
- Back in the mid nineties, I randomly ran into pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece on the beach in Virginia Beach, VA. My only ‘got a celebrity’ autograph” claim to fame.
- When it comes to plastic wrapping, I’ve had several Larry David moments (see intro here).
- I often dream about lagoons, seeing myself swimming inside a Tahitian reef that has expansive crystal clear, aqua blue waters. I probably soul travel to either the south pacific or somewhere in the Maldives.
