Four things

Amy sent me an email forward titled “Four Things About Me: Things you may not have known about me.” I filled it out as ordered and sent it back to her. Then I decided to post most of it here, too. And I added a catch: One item in each category isn’t true! Ha! Can you spot the fake?

A song for Cindy

Rockford’s song for the Cindy Crawford Rooms to Go ad (to the tone of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”):

I’m Cindy Crawford
Now I’m three
There goes one of me.

Now I’m sitting on this couch
There’s another one of me over there
And there’s the third me sittin’ on that rug.

OK, so maybe it was funnier in person. He sings a new song every time he sees the ad.
