6 things you probably didn’t know about me

I was tagged by  the Ductapeguy. I’m a little late on this, but here it is. Here are the six things I hope you didn’t know about me.

1. I was still a kid when my parents had to wake me up at 4 AM in the cold of the winter, just because each head in the family would get to buy 1 bottle of milk. The milk was sold starting 6 AM and by 7 AM was gone. There was a headcount when milk was sold in communist Romania: it was that bad and I will always remember.
2. During my university years, my hair was so long that I could use it as a belt for my jeans.
3. I mentored very few people when I was a radio personality. I went for the quality vs. quantity. Each one of them appreciates the Music and the Artist at their right value.
4. I have a sister that’s 5 years older than I am. She introduced me to Borges, Tarkovski, Pink Floyd. Daniil Harms, Antonioni, Tangerine Dream, and many others along this pattern (literature/film/music).
5. Like any over-qualified Canadian immigrant, I did my share of survival jobs: market research, security, superintendent. I was humiliated by arrogant, semi-educated people. But an ex-MP, ex minister of defense (and liberal caucus personality) that lived in the building I was taking care of said to me: “George, see the third phone on my desk? The black one. It’s a direct line to the prime minister. If you run into a problem, you tell me first.”
6. I met my wife when she auditioned for a radio-host job at the FM station where I was holding the auditions. I met my son on a Monday morning in 2006 at Mt. Sinai hospital in Toronto. They both had no idea I was there to bring love in their lives, and to stay.

I really don’t know that many people on the web that weren’t tagged already, so – excuse me – I will end this thread here.
