As if I didn’t have enough to do, I was tagged and need to post my response (more examples of the Four Things meme here).

Four jobs I’ve had in my life:

1. Thrifty Hardware & Supply Company clerk – worked for my dad, doing fun things like working the pipe cutting machine and getting covered in the lubricating oil. I’d come home looking like I’d been in one of those Wesson-oil wrestling matches.
2. Waltham Camera & Stereo counter sales – back in college, I earned extra $$ working at this high-end stereo and photo store. We’d spend hours listening to our favorite music on these $25k systems, and I was able to buy all sorts of gear at cost. Heck, I still have some of the speakers I bought back in the day.
3. Photojournalist – I was a stringer for the AP during college, then a staff photographer and editor for the Savannah Morning News and The Augusta Chronicle. Amazing experiences during that time – from travelling with the U.N. to Sarajevo in ’92 to photographing the antics of the ill-fated ’86 Red Sox, to covering the darker side of my home town during the violent crack-gang violence in the early 90s. 
4. Turner Broadcasting – that would be my current job, and it’s been a blast, from the annual Swimsuit Edition for SI.com to iTV projects for CNN and the rest of our brands, it’s been a great experience. PS – Swimsuit 2006 launches on Valentines Day next week!

Four movies I can watch over and over:

1. The Princess Bride
2. Local Hero
3. Rear Window
4. Monsters Inc.

Four TV shows I love to watch:

1. 24
2. Survivor (yeah, I know)
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. Family Guy

Four places I’ve been on vacation:

1. Isla Mujeres, Mexico – wonderful small island off Cancun – peaceful and beautiful
2. Haifa, Israel – rather like Carmel, California. Went before the Intafada, when the only worries were rockets coming in from Lebanon
3. Volcano Village, Hawaii – among the many places we went on our honeymoon, by far the most magical
4. Highlands, NC – a great escape from Atlanta – wonderful hiking, amazing food and wine, and good geocaching!

Four of my favorite dishes:

1. Toro!
2. Osso Bucco
3. Lobster, pretty much any way you serve it
4. Berries

Four websites I visit daily:

1. CNN.com
2. Digg.com
3. SI.com
4. HDBeat.com

Four places I would rather be right now:

1. The aforementioned Big Island of Hawaii
2. At home, with my wife and son
3. Savannah, GA (my hometown)
4. Boston (my adoptive hometown)

Four bloggers I am tagging:
