I've been tagged so I have to tell you 5 things you might not know about me. 

1)  I have suffered hearing loss as a child.   

2)  When I was a small boy my parents took me to the circus at Madison Square Garden. They bought the special seats so I would be chosen to ride around in the rings. I loved it, I was waving to everyone inside the world’s most famous arena-I remember it like it was yesterday.  When I got back to my seat my mom asked me: “Did you like it?” Little 5 year old me replied: “It was ok. I am surprised they did not give me a speaking part.”

3)  When I was 17, I was riding my bike and I was hit by a car and left for dead on the side of the road where I broke all my ribs. When I got up my first words were “where’s my bike?”

4)  I do not have a daughter in Australia, nor did I ever date Britney Spears.

5)  I actually get more pleasure when the Yankees lose then when the Mets win.

In order to keep the "chain" going I tag Richard Campbell, Clemens Vasters, Carl Franklin, Fahad Majeed, and Hans Verbeeck.
