I'm from that lost generation: too young to be a beatnik; too old to be a hippie.

Uh, oh. I've been tagged for the first time in my mindsay history. By aravis. Don't you guys know I'm too old to play tag?
Oh well, 6 things about myself:

1. Today I turned 68 which puts me just one year away from that real sexy age: 69.
2. I've got two 20 inch iMacs sitting next to each other on my office desk. My estranged wife, who moved out recently, is getting custody of the older one while I'm keeping the new lightning fast one.
3. When I was 3 I used to walk a mile down the road to Grandmas house cause she always had cookies.
4. I won a Governor Generals medal for the best marks in grade 9 in Vulcan County. My first and last award for academic achievement
5. When I moved to Toronto for my first job in 1962 I shared the top floor of a rooming house with a guy who went on to become Pierre Trudeau's speech-writer when he was Prime Minister.
6. A psychic once told me I must have been an alter boy because she could see some of catholic church paraphenalia around me. In actual fact I was working in a government office which had previously been part of a Jesuit seminary, and there was still some of the paraphenalia in my office.
