For being a storehouse of trivia and obscure facts gained through decades of voracious reading/TV & movie watching and years in the news business. As with Phaedrus, I' play a mean game of Trivial Pursuit (at least as long as my memory holds out).

Usually a plus, but not always, I'm known for working well under short deadlines, and definitely not a plus, people seem to pick up quickly that I'm usually willing to take on more work.

And I am a fairly obsessive trip planner. If my wife isn't in the mood to pack for a trip, I'll do it for her.

Oh, and I'm a sarcastic smart a$$, though I try to keep it under control. Which is why I usually just avoid the political/religious threads on TT.

And if you had a fault, which you OBVIOUSLY don't... it's modesty.

I'm infamous
OK, I'll confess; about 13 years ago I drove our cross country team 620 miles through a blizzard from Montana out to Fargo, North Dakota--on the wrong weekend....

The press got hold of it and it went out on the AP wire and ended up all over the world. I got calls from papers all over the country and Sports Illustrated even put the story in with a little cartoon of a musher with a little team of runners pulling a sled.

There, I feel better.

The next year wasn't much better- our bus caught on fire on the way back from Nebraska.

That's All Folks Around Here Know Me For
Skateboarding.

I'm a hometown hero from the mid-80s when I skated for a team on the E coast and got to do demos, judge contests and travel. It was before the X-games, but the activity is still the same...except nobody got paid the $$$ they do now.

My hang time is such that I can dunk with my right hand and then the left before I hit the floor.

The real one is that I can "usually" get away with damn near anything.

What I'm Known For..
So anyway.. since I started this thread..

That guy who works a lot.. mostly out of town.. not sure what he does.. but apparently makes good money..

That guy who lives in that house over on Cary.. between the Hoppers and the Frenchs... with the really huge yard..

That guy who knows a lot about computers.. and can program them and fix them if you need him to..

That guy who sings in church.. teaches a sunday school class.. and has even led music..

That guy who coached several years.. baseball, softball.. and soccer.. had some really good teams when his kids were younger..

That guy who married Maurice and Barbara's daughter.. and have two really smart kids.. the oldest goes to Vandy, and he is brillant, they say.. the youngest is still in high school..

That guy who likes to go out in the woods.. (heard that he goes with people he meets over the Internet, can you imagine that??)hiking over mountains and stuff..

That guy who used to play in rock bands years ago.. and was supposedly really good.. even spent quite a bit of time in recording studios..

That guy.. he's one of Kenny's friends.. they go to Titans games a lot..

So what am I known for? Depends on who you talk to apparently..

Being an Adrenaline Junkie
I am finding out lately that one reason lots of folks don't want to get out on the trail with me..... is because they are scared of what the trip will be like.
They don't want to climb, belly crawl, swim in rhododendron, get dirty, do anything involving rope, don't want to go where there is no trail, don't want to do anything that involves miles of straight uphill, etc.
I have a feeling I had better modify my ways or I'll be by my lonesome alot!! My reputation precedes me too many times these days.
