a view of the self...

A meme - tagged by poet with a day job: “Reveal eight things about yourself.”

1. I was born in a Coast Guard station, Outer Banks, NC.
2. My favorite artists are the Abstract Expressionists.
3. I had a defining moment in Beirut, Lebanon, nearly falling twelve stories.
4. If I had one meal to choose: steamed mussels.
5. I have degrees in philosophy, English, and counseling.
6. My favorite songwriter is Townes Van Zandt.
7. My sister is fourteen years younger than me.
8. My grandfather was a coal miner (West Virginia & Virginia) during WWI, made his own whiskey, delivered mail, and, later, became a preacher.

I like your list. Your grandpa sounds like a cool guy. Also, I have one younger sister who is 10 years younger, and another who is 18 years younger.
And, you have good taste in art.
