Surprises

On this week’s Squirrel Report, Alan and Breda asked listeners and callers what it was about them that surprised people when they learned about it.  Since I can never listen to the Report on Thursday nights, I couldn’t call in, but this should work:

People always seem surprised when they find out that I love to cook and bake.  I guess I don’t look the part, but I love good food, and up until I met Irish Woman, that meant I had to cook my own food or make a whole lot more money so that I could afford better than drive-thru burgers.

So, that’s my thought on the subject, but I have one or two for you all:

  1. What have I revealed about myself on this blog that came as a surprise to you all?
  2. For those of you who have met me in real life, was there anything that surprised you about the meatspace me?

Please leave answers in comments.  I’m curious what people think.

BTW, mistyping sqrpt.com to sprpt.com takes you to a Chinese industrial painting company.  Could this be the source of all those Chinese downloads of the show?

    I usually assume people will be shorter than me. Ummm, you were not shorter than me?

    You know, I don’t know that there’s much that’s surprised me. I think your first Minivandian post was a bit of surprise, because I hadn’t considered that you’d have a fiction writer deep inside you, just itching to get out through an off-kilter recollection of your day/weekend/whatever.
