Here we go! I got the number 10, so here are 10 things you may not have known about me. Like this status and Ill give you your own number so YOU can play the game. 1. The first politician I ever had my picture taken with was John Buchanan, about three weeks after his landslide November 84 election victory. (I was 12.) 2. I have handwritten letters from MAD Magazine founder/publisher William M. Gaines and MADs Maddest Writer Dick DeBartolo, thanking me for fan mail I sent them in 1987 and 1995, respectively. 3. Considering how much I enjoy tea and coffee today, you might be surprised to hear that I didnt start drinking tea regularly until I was 18, while regular coffee consumption only kicked in at about 30. 4. I have two middle names, Joseph and Ross. 5. The most terrified I have ever been in any interview setting was talking to Ariel Rogers at the first Stan Rogers Folk Festival. She was a very nice person but I was convinced I would mess up the interview or say something insensitive about her late husband. (Fortunately, I didnt.) 6. My right big toe still contains a piece of toenail that didnt grow back in properly after it was operated on in Grade 8. 7. I visited the Discovery Train when it came to the Canso Causeway in 1980, and was frightened beyond belief by a huge paper grasshopper sitting in large paper blades of grass. (I was seven.) 8. I once performed Weird Al Yankovics original song The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota in front of two Minnesotans at The Rare Bird Pub in Guysborough. (Mercifully, they thought it was hilarious.) 9. First movie I ever saw: James Bond 007 in The Spy Who Loved Me, at a drive-in theatre in PEI at the age of five. 10. When I was 13, I wrote my own sequel to Splash (starring the teenage daughter of Darryl Hannahs mermaid character) and set it in Halifax. Location shooting would have occurred at the Commons, Bedford Basin and Chocolate Lake had the script ever emerged from my bedroom.
