16 things about Michael Deputy

Friday, December 26th, 2008

I was reading a post by T.J. Belt where he listed 16 things about him.  It was quite interesting.  He has had quite an interesting life.  So here are my 16

1.  I completed a 100 mile bike ride in Honolulu, HI.

2.  I really struggle with self-confidence.

3.  My favorite NFL team was, is, and will be the Miami Dolphins.

4.  My first apartment had a view of the roller coasters at Great America in Gurnee, Illinois.

5.  I have three aquariums (Only two currently in use)

6. I come from a family of six, and so did my wife.

7. I have a daughter with Down Syndrome who is a cancer survivor.

8. I married my college sweetheart.

9. I love snow.

10. I changed my major from aquatic biology to Accounting in my junior year.

11. My two children were born in different states (Daughter in Illinois, Son in Indiana)

12. I was a founding father of the Ball State chapter of Kappa Delta Rho.

13. I once was almost kicked out of the Indianapolis Museum of Art because I acted on the impulse to find out if the mandolin on display actually worked.

14. My son and I battle each other with Nerf guns.

15. There are two things I looked forward to doing as a kid.  One was scuba diving and the other was motorcycle riding.  I am a certified rescue diver, and I have not learned to ride a motorcycle.

16. Even though my children are taking riding lessons, I have never ridden a horse.
