4 Things
I'm not sure where this chain "4 Things" thing started, but it has produced some interesting responses... Here's my response:
4 Jobs
1. Grape-vine gardener
2. Data-entry operator for Elections BC
3. Substitute receptionist at St. Vladimir's Seminary

4 Movies
1. The Princess Bride
2. Seven Samurai
3. The Matrix
4. The Incredibles
(Not quite a movie, but worthy of mention: Masterpiece Theatre's Pride and Predjudice, which got me into Jane Austen.)

2. lots of family trips to Manitoba - about once every 3 years when I was growing up
3. church youth group camping trips to Lake Erroch (now, unfortunately, a nudist colony!)
4. honeymoon to Cortes, Quadra, and Vancouver Islands
(a number of trips to Deception Pass and other parts of Whidby Island were also great!)
4 Foods
1. pizza (preferably just meat and cheese)
2. sushi and sashimi

4 Sites (only 4?!?)
