A Few Things About Me

I don't have time to get through 100 things tonight, but here's the first 10:

1. I was born in the last year that the Beatles were still together. All while I was in grade school I can remember my parents playing the Abbey Road and Hey Jude albums. At one point in time I could sing most of the songs from these albums from memory.
2. When I was 6 months old, my parents got me up out of bed early so that I could watch Niel Armstrong walk on the moon. They knew I wouldn't remember it, but they thought I should be there to watch it.
3. When I was growing up I wanted to be a lawyer, an astronomer and finally a biologist. I got hooked by immunology during my senior year in high school when I read a National Geographic article "The Wars Within" which described the role of the immune system in HIV infection.
4. I only spent one year in public school -- kindergarden. All the rest of my schooling has been in private institutions.
5. I've only lived in four different places in my life: Buffalo, NY, Ann Arbor, MI, San Antonio, TX and Chicago,IL. But while in Chicago, I've moved 5 times. Three of those moves were within Hyde Park.
6. I currently live in a house I don't want to leave -- a 4 bedroom house in the city. I love my house. Even though it's not new to us any more, I will still walk around my house and tell my husband how much I love it.
7. I almost married the wrong man. But that experience helped me recognize when I met the right one.
8. My husband and I met through an Internet personals site. For a long time I thought he was too good to be true.
9. I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing in an obsessive compulsive manner.
10. I was introduced to computers by my father who bought an Apple II+ when I was 12. I have been infatuated with them ever since.
