Change of pace for a Friday afternoon: Let's talk about me, shall we?

I don't usually do "memes" because they remind me a little too much of chain letters/ emails. But you know what? It's Friday, and I'm sitting here on my lunch hour with nary an inspiration for a final post today. And there's a "4x4 meme" going around that I thought you might find remotely interesting; I've linked to many of my favorites to try to make it more so. If nothing else, you have some extra reading material. So heres goes (I promise I'll try to make it worth your while):

Four Jobs I Have Had

• Typing dog tags for the tourists at the "new" (at the time) Smithsonian M*A*S*H exhibit
• Receptionist at Sidwell Friends School
  
• Managing Editor of a 4-color magazine for a big faceless banking association in DC
• Middle School Special Education Teacher

Four Places I Have Been

• Sitting on a motorcycle in San Jose, Costa Rica (I was 3 years old)
• Hiking and camping in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland
• Visiting the Mer du Glace ice glacier, Chamonix, France
• Bicycling around western Ireland, including a stay on Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland
  

Four Favorite Foods

• That salad with mixed greens, granny smith apples, walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese (what is that one called?)
• Waffle fries from Chik-fil-a
• A most excellent Alsatian white wine blend, Dopff & Irion Crustaces
• Peanut M&Ms

Four All-Time Favorites

• Movie: Finding Nemo .... I really could watch this movie a million and one times. You know you could, too. Say it with me ..."Es-cape!"
• Bands: Little Feat (the old stuff, with Lowell George -- remember, I'm a hippie!)
• Plays: "On the Razzle" by Tom Stopppard, because I saw it at the National Theater in London while in college, it was the first "real" theater I had been to, and it starred Felicity Kendal. Not very highbrow reasoning, is it?
• Singer: Eva Cassidy, gone too soon
