Tag! I’m it.
Ben Yoskovitz shared his five things that the blogging community doesn’t know about him, and has chosen me as one of five people to continue to spread the meme. So here goes:
1. I can read Korean (phonetically, at least), even though I have no idea what I’m saying out loud most of the time. Try it for yourself; it only takes about three hours or so to learn.
2. I have a healthy dose of Acadian (Merci, Grandpa Arsenault) mixed in with my Irish and English heritage, mais mon francais n’est pas bon.
3. After college, I spent an entire calendar year as a bike courier in Victoria. Having my bike stolen from outside my friend Erik’s pizza shop was the beginning of the end of that memorable time for me, and was the wake up call I needed to start growing up.
4. My first name is actually Patrick, inherited from my father and his father before him and his father before him. And all of us first born sons, all with middle names starting with “J.” If you’re keeping track, that would make me Patrick Jordan Behan, and Patrick J. Behan IV.
5. Although I did play rep hockey up until Bantam, due to a late-blooming ability to skate well enough and a complete lack of “hands,” I had a much more successful career as a referee (even appearing in the stripes as a linesman for a game of Junior “A”) than I ever did as a player. Ask anyone who ever played hockey with me, and you won’t get much of a dispute on this point.
So there you are, five things that you didn’t know about me before that I am comfortable sharing with the ‘internets.’
Now, I want to find out five things about:
Jeremy Latham
Nathaniel Steven Henry Brown
James Sherrett
Linda Bustos (a hip noob)
Kris Krug
