Jon Rachiele's 25 Random Things
1. I broke three people's arms in my life. Once in kindergarten, I told a girl on the opposite end of the monkey bars to jump down and get out of my way. In high school, I pushed Bob Leissring down the steps the day before Christmas break. And then during my college break, as a camp counselor, I steam rolled a camper with the earth ball.
2. My dad was a WWII hero who received the Bronze and Silver stars, and a Purple Heart. As a chest surgeon during the war, he reached inside a man’s chest and got it working again my messaging it with his bare hands.
3. For the last 20 years I have spent a weekend in February playing broomball with my college fraternity brothers – and every year it makes feel like I can be a better person.
4. I love a well run meeting with agendas, purpose, follow ups, meeting minutes, and an on-time finish.
5. When I was born my mom was 42, and my dad was 52.
6. I love the spot light -- I was the Student Body president in college and I am the nation chief of my daughter’s Indian Princess Tribe.
7. I ran a marathon in 2004, and have been trying to finish another one ever since.
8. My license plate reads “PLUS247” which stands for “positive, everyday.”
9. My Dad died when I was 6 months old.
10. I always wanted to time travel back to high school and do it all over, until I watched Napoleon Dynamite and realized how ridiculous that would actually be.
11. Krista is my best friend, my wife, mother of my children, and the only person that I love each and every day without hesitation or doubt.
12. My daughter, Devin, is a replica of my mom and has my sense of direction.
13. Ian, the first born son, is the coolest guy I know and has my ability to spell like a gorilla.
14. Nolan, the youngest, is hilarious and has my gift of dance.
15. I love a project plan and goals. I once had a hundred New Year’s resolutions which included the goal of “cleaning 52 drawers in 52 weeks.”
16. Every year I write an on-line Christmas letter and think of topics during every life-moment.
17. My best trip ever was a trip and cruise at Disney World with my family this last year (2008).
18. Every year I plant a garden.
19. Occasionally, I love to cook -- with my best meal being a vegetable strata from “Cooks Illustrated.”
20. If I won a million dollars, I would invest it in my kid’s education, buy a bigger house, and tell no one – not even my wife.
21. I am a homebody, and have fond memories of playing house with my cousins when I was young.
22. While I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy, I have not had a drink in five years.
23. My home is a mere 1,400 square feet – and houses five people and three pets.
24. I struggle everyday with the concept of God.
25. I once had a sever case of diarrhea as a golf caddy, dropped my golfer’s bag, and ran away (squishy) off the course at the 16th hole.
