I was tagged by Ross Mayfield in this meme. I feel so much a part of the blogosphere now. 
Here are my five things…
- I only own one gaming console, and 8-bit Nintendo. It still works. I till play Super Mario Bros 3.
- I went to the USSR in the summer of 1988 with my grandmother for a month-long Peace March. As a child I had no idea there could be any danger. We traveled from Odessa to Kiev, now entirely within the sovereign state of the Ukraine. This was a follow up to the 1986 Great Peace March that crossed the US in protest of nuclear weapons. I didn’t attend that march. I have a lot of Stalin memorabilia from this trip. I have never found any coverage of this event on the Internet. Odd.
- I have three legal aliases.
- I have four children, not three. Our first child - Peter West - died at full-term just days before his expected delivery on March 6, 2001.
- In High School I was a member of Kiski Area’s competitive marching band (my legal alias at the time was Casey Tweten). I was part of a very successful band and won a national championship and nearly every other competition we entered.
In order to fulfill this meme I must tag five other people. Rael Dornfest, Nat Torkington, Alex Russell, Bob Ippolito, and James Duncan. Enjoy that folks.
