10 more strange but true facts... maybe tidbits is a better word

Here's a few more tidbits of the strange but true (dramatic emphasis added), because what else are you going to do while you're house sitting a needy cat? ;)  Of course this means I can never play this game with any of you, because I'm practically giving a lot of my best material away for free. ;)

Also it should be noted that many if not all of these things are not nearly as impressive as they sound.
But that's the point of the game right? Find some outrageous things you can say about yourself, and then throw a curveball, just to keep people on their toes. :) This was written a while back, and now I'm posting it, at least for a while..

1. I have performed the forgotten carols with Michael McLean
2. I had a painting in an exhibit at a downtown gallery in SLC
3. I'm a part owner of a fortune 500 company
4. I have been a soccer player, a coach and a referee
5. I get christmas cards from multiple US Senators, and Congressmen
6. I once made a full size working porch swing using only cardboard and glue
7. While I was living in a foreign country, the police came to my house to deport me.
8. I once went to a party on a yacht at the invitation of the ambassador to Panama.
9. I had a small run in with the mafia… no big deal
10. I’ve wrestled with an alligator in the Florida Everglades
11. I once had a job where I had to drive my car from the passengers seat.

So how many of these stories have you heard?

Oriste!
