Meet Jason (or, a break from the normal stuff)

Meet Jason (or, a break from the normal stuff) Im swamped with book marketing and my brain is kind of mush today so I thought Id take a break and join a meme. Here are eight random facts about me I almost always ask for just ice while on a plane. This is so (a) I dont spill liquid on my laptop, and (b) it doesnt go straight through me and make me use that tiny, eensie-weensie bathroom on the plane. Im rather shy. Im not the guy at the party (or networking event) or whatever that is hopping around introducing myself to everyone. At the same time Im not really happy being a wall flower so if Im not chatting with someone I try and find someone to talk with. I dont really like um, computers. Many of you may think Im a geek or nerd, but trust me, Im not. I used to manage geeks and nerds, and pretty much all they could do was talk ones and zeros. I have never built my own machine, installed an OS, or anything like that (I used to be a programmer, and I was good but I wasnt excellent). I LOVE to read. I just finished the last Harry Potter book (loved it), I love John Grisham, Michael Crichton, but had a hard time getting into Tom Clancy. I have a subscription to Inc and Fast Company, will usually read every page of a newspaper (not ads and not comics (anymore)), etc. Im not a morning person. By any measure. Its true that Ive been getting up around 6am (give or take an hour) but its not my choice. I have four kids. The oldest is almost ten, the youngest just turned one. I have a favorite son since hes the only son, and I tell him hes my favorite son every night. I kiss all my kids goodnight each night, and cherish our relationships (I have to now, while they still like me, right?). I think snakes are the best pets around. I used to love all animals but now that Im old and cranky I dont want anything that will shed or shed (sic) in my house. You can ignore snakes and they dont care. You can feed them once a month. They are cool, scary and creepy all at the same time. I take my kids snake hunting in the summer and they love it (and their friends think Im very cool). I am kind of afraid of heights. Nothing that needs counseling. But when I was a kid I fell through a roof. You know, that sturdy thing that you shouldnt fall through? Ever since then I hate being on the roof (adios Christmas lights). The rules are here, on Andrews blog. Ive been tagged by others sorry for taking so long to get this up. Id like to tag YOU leave at least ONE random fact about yourself as a comment Id love to get to know you better (yes, even you, blog lurker!)
