Younghusband’s Facts
1. I have had surgery on my ears seven times. I am nearly deaf in my right ear.
2. During the 1990s I swore off computers and became a luddite. I didn’t buy my first computer until May 2002.
3. I hate bananas and tomatos.
4. After years of being an agnostic, I finally got off the fence last December and now consider myself an active atheist.
5. That said, I am a recent convert — and zealot — of the Tenth Doctor. He’s brilliant!
6. During my teens I was a provincial competitor for target handgunning.
7. I have definitely mellowed in my old age.

Interesting that we both share ear problems (though I didn't mention them in my Meme). I've had nearly two dozen middle-ear surgeries, battling cholesteatoma in both ears between the ages of 6 and 21. Though clean for nearly 20 years, I'm nearly deaf in my left ear (this is what kept me out of active military service, despite my best efforts to sign up).

Oddly enough, my father is also nearly deaf in his right ear.
