2 truths and a lie

-- We moved overseas when I was 2 months old (U.S. Navy) and our nanny taught me Portuguese before I spoke English.
-- I once spent a wonderful evening drinking Heineken with Julian Lennon at a dance club ... in Alabama.
-- My only hole-in-one was witnessed by Lynn Swann.

 

- I once interviewed David Bowie
- As a kid I played hockey with two guys who made it to the NHL
- I have never driven a car

 

• I played high school baseball against the bassist for the band 3 Doors Down.

• In a college intramural flag football game, I caught a touchdown pass against a current Division I head coach.

• I am the only grandchild in my family who has never had a tattoo or a piercing.

 

• I was held at gunpoint while working a job as a sophomore in high school.

• I umpired a Chicago Cubs baseball game.

• I have made two holes-in-one playing golf in my life.

 

* I helped Gay Talese get credentials to a women's soccer game.

* I had had guns and knives pulled on me when working at a restaurant.

* I have interviewed Herschel Walker, Evil Knievel, Peggy Fleming and Roger Clemens

 

I think you helped Gay Talese get into something, but it wasn't a women's soccer game.

-- Until I got married (one month shy of age 32), I had never moved out of my parents' house or lived on my own

-- Although I had been wearing glasses for more than 10 years, one "side effect" of being diagnosed for diabetes for me was restoring my 20-20 vision for good

-- A Basketball Hall of Famer has (or did have) an autographed column I wrote about his retirement hanging on a wall in his house.

 

I saw Mickey Mantle play live three times in the 50s?

My father saw Babe Ruth play once?

Andre the Giant once put me in a headlock?

 

I smoked weed with a Heisman Trophy winner.
A former baseball MVP once dumped a garbage can on me.
I covered a basketball game while sitting next to OJ Simpson.

 

Was it Tim Tebow?

 

I'm going to say the last one isn't true.

I figure The Scarlett Letter was passed around the sandbox and you kept reading it over there. And who hasn't smoked out with Willie?
