Fun Facts

I know I said that I'd keep the blog alive thru the end of the month but I've decided to wrap it all up tomorrow.....Before I close up shop here and team up with the O.M.O.M. for the relaunch of the all new From Out of Nowhere (that's...www.fromoutofnowhere.com), I thought I'd post some fun facts about me, life, the universe and everything...
