25 things

I finally got tagged in one of the "25 things" notes on Facebook, so am blogging it now and it will arrive on Facebook soon...

1) At the moment, I have 13 bottles of contact lens solution by my sink and 6 in my locker at work

2) I am an officially recognized police response cyclist

6) My parents hate jazz music but I, for some reason, love it

7) I spent a summer working in Panama in 2003
