Señor Moderantor, over at Rant Your Head Off, has tagged me… which, from what I understand means I’m supposed to come up with five things most people wouldn’t know about me. Even though this is the blog version of a chain letter, I’ll play along because I’ve enjoyed reading the “tagged” entries over at some of my favorite daily distractions: Tim at Bicycles and Icicles and Jill at Up in Alaska.
So here goes…
1. I have a M.A. in philosophy for which I wrote a thesis on philosophical anarchism.
2. My seat on the Durham Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, a citizens’ board that advises Durham’s city and county councils how to make the region more bike-friendly, is a different approach for me. I’ve never before worked so closely with governments; but then again, given number 1., perhaps that’s not so surprising.
3. I have lived and worked among the homeless of Atlanta, GA and Washington, D.C.
4. I used to teach literature, science, math, and philosophy in an alternative school for teenage mothers who had dropped out of high school after getting pregnant.
5. I have played basketball with Kevin Garnett.
edit: I forgot to pass this on… I’m going to tag Martino. Further, I challenge him to tell us his five things using only photography. Let’s see if he plays along.
