A Tangled Web

I've been tagged

Kevin Schmidt just tagged me so I must tag 5 others. First, 5 things most people don't know about me:

1. I'm originally from North Carolina, where I lived and worked until I moved to California at age 33.
   
2. When I was in high school and college, I was skinny as a rail and had shoulder-length hair. I was so skinny I had to run around in the shower to get wet.
   
3. In 1996, I won the titles of Mr. San Francisco and Mr. Sacramento in the masters division in bodybuilding competitions. I competed in the light-heavyweight class at 198lbs with about 4% body fat.
   
4. I learned to water ski when I was 8. By age 11 I was a slalom skier and by age 13 I was trick-skiing. This was back when trick skis had square ends.
   
5. In high school I competed in springboard diving for a club pool. I learned a lot of tricks from my Dad, who was a champion diver and trampolinist while in college at University of North Carolina. I used to practice for so many hours the bottoms of my feet would get raw from all the skin being worn off. Oh, and I learned that hitting the water face-first from the 3-meter board can give you a black eye!
   

I will now tag Ron, Mike, Suresh, Andi, and Chris.
