I've Been Tagged

I've been "tagged" by Jonathan Kantor over at the White Paper Pundit blog. The way this works is that it's now my turn to list five things that most people probably don't know about me ... and then tag five other people to continue the chain.

1. As a kid, I had a vibrant shoeshine business where I charged by the shoe - and some people actually had me do only one at a time!
2. I'm a fairly accomplished egg roll maker - Uncle Irwin taught me how to use a wok as we 'sailed' the Long Island Sound on his Chinese Junk.
3. Because so many things in life happen alphabetically, I used to think my full name was actually "and, Barry Zweibel."
4. My guitar (yes, I still play ... a bit) is one of the first Ovation Balladeers ever produced (model 1111) - I bought it new, way back when I was in high school.
5. I'm allergic to bees and wasps, mosquitoes - and autumn.

So that's about me. And now, here are the five bloggers I tag to go next:

1. Megan Potter at http://www.flamingrenaissance.com/
2. Jim Carlini at http://www.carliniscomments.com/
3. Kerch McConlogue at www.mapthefuture.com/blog
4. Sylva Leduc at http://www.syl.typepad.com/
5. Penelope Trunk at blog.penelopetrunk.com
