BEHIND THE LENS

​

• I can wiggle my ears (without touching them of course).

• My upper and lower teeth don't touch in front so when I bite down, there's a gap about the width of my pinky.

• I sleep flat on my back with a pillow underneath my legs (it's good for your back), with my arms on my chest. Some have observed that while sleeping I resemble a mummy.

• My name was initially going to be Dale but it was changed to Daniel while I was still in the hospital.

• I can walk on my hands.

• I rarely chew gum.

• The movie "Gremlins" scared me as a kid.

• I usually walk fast, and have unknowingly left people behind until they pointed it out to me.

• I wear a size 11 1/2 shoe.

• When I hear a song I like, I can listen to it over and over without tiring of it. I will usually sing along if no one else is around.

• I loved to climb trees when I was a kid.

• I like to play sports of all kinds.

• I don't remember anything about my maternal grandfather before his stroke. He died of Alzheimer's.

• My best childhood friend was a few years younger than me.
