To meme or not to meme; honoring the tag

Mark Silva tagged me with this 4×4 meme, pointing to our Beer Travelers site. Since I don’t expect to be adding much there before we hit the road and I need to kick start this blog here goes . . .

The premise is to share things about yourself that others may not know by picking four categories and providing four answers per category (this is sort of a master list, although I paid no attention to it). So no beer here, and probably not any green chile or stinky cheese; those predispositions are revealed well enough elsewhere.

Four things I don’t care for
1. Republican presidents
2. Being late
3. Fast food chains
4. Interstate highways

Four writers who changed journalism for me
1. Haynes Johnson
2. Hunter Thompson
3. Michael Herr
4. Frank Deford

Four musicians I wish I’d seen
1. Woody Guthrie
2. Townes Van Zandt
3. Sam Cooke
4. Buddy Holly

Four places I plan to visit in the next 15 months
1. Poperinge, Belgium
2. Yellowstone National Park
3. Paris, Texas
4. Dubrovnik, Croatia

And the final task is tagging four more bloggers: Jack Curtin, Josh Mishell, Alan McLeod and Maggie Dutton.
