I’m new enough to the blogosphere that I had to ask her what that meant . . .
- Here’s a boring one that is nonetheless true: there’s a pile of 8-10 personal finance-related books that I desperately want to read but haven’t been able to make time for yet.
- I had long hair in high school. During two years I spent in the Dominican Republic, I sometimes showed people a picture of me just before I cut my hair. One of my buddies got a kick out of telling people that it was actually my sister. On more than one occasion the response was, “No offense, but you’ve got a really ugly sister!”
- One spring during college I was the Easter bunny at the local mall. It was really hot and scratchy, but it paid better than my job on campus in the computer labs.
- ThoughtfulConsideration.com was made possible by a car accident a few months ago that I’m still recovering from. I would never have found the time to get it going otherwise, and on the other side of things, my recovery has been better because of it.
- My 1989 Toyota Camry (that was totaled when the guy pulled out in front of me on his red light) had more than 280,000 miles on it and still had more life in it. In fact, we didn’t even get the car until it was lightly broken in at 175,000 miles! I do a fair amount of my own car repairs, and had personally (and single-handedly) replaced a variety of components including the clutch and front axles.
One more thing about me is that I’m with Henry at Binary Dollar, “I love the idea of starting a company but I’m too scared to do it.”

Hi Andy! Great stuff — so interesting to hear about all the bloggers this way. And one wonderful benefit is that I got to hear about other bloggers you tagged. I never knew who the others were before you mentioned them so I’m glad for this discovery. I’m looking forward to more memes (viral “games”) like these in the future.
Hi Andy,
One thing more that the people don’t know about you. You also speak a very good Spanish…
SVB,
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t contacted too many other bloggers, so this was a fun exercise.
gCent,
Thanks for the compliment - you’re very kind!
I probably should have at mentioned that I do speak a little Spanish. To look at me you’d never guess that I spoke Spanish. I’ve scared more than my fair share of Latinos!
Very cool. I’ll respond this evening. Impressed with the Spanish, Andy. I know a little too. “Yes, I’d like 2 Chicken Fajita tacos, and some guacamole…and an enchilada plate”.
It helps to live in Texas.
