"Without the capacity to provide its own information, the mind drifts into randomness." (*)

I have been selected by MDF (“my dear friend”) Lady Trout to participate in a meme in which we are each asked to list six (6) random things about ourselves and link to six (6) more people who are then supposed to do the same.

*sigh*

OK … WTF … I’ll play …

Six random things about me:

1. When I was about 20, I was almost arrested (along with a few friends) for sleeping in Mount Royal Park (Montreal, Canada).
2. My maternal grandfather was President and Chairman of the Board of AT&T.
3. My father was a Presbyterian minister.
4. My name is Elmer J Fudd, millionaire; I own a mansion and a yacht. I have a shopping problem.
5. When I was a baby, my parents and I lived in a New York City apartment which was next door to the building where John-John Kennedy went to nursery school.
6. A lot of people ask me why I wear a hat.
