Eight Interesting Facts About This Man I Work With

1. He has been married seven times.

2. He is 53 years old.

3. None of his marriages were less than four years long.

4. He has never had children.

5. His current marriage is in its ninth year.

6. His current wife married him when she was 45.

7. She had never been married.

8. He has broken every limb (arm, arm, leg, leg) at least four times.

I told him that I am coming back next summer and that I am going to write "at the very least an article or interview" about him.  He's lived all over, had a ton of different jobs, including security guard for famous people who came to this one casino in the 80s, cop, boxer. 

He agreed to this idea of me writing about him even though when he said seven marriages I exclaimed, "You're the Liz Taylor of the lodge!"  I think because he knows that being the Liz Taylor of anything is always the best possible situation.

([rushed whisper] "These have always brought me luck.")

People who are hardy are inherently interesting to me.  Hence my abiding love for the Little House series.  And Sweet Valley High.

  1. Hahaha Sweet Valley High.

    That man's life is like a math problem! One that I can't do, but think I should be able to do as an educated adult. I'll bring it to school and have the honors class work on it.

  2. Yes, do that. The coefficient of Desperado squared to the power of Free Bird.

  3. Or I guess "squared to the power of" is not... a phrase... but I never claimed to be in honors math.
