My buddy Kevin Boer of 3 Oceans Real Estate a Palo Alto real estate agent and blog guru has just tagged me in a meme chain.
This is the first time I have been tagged by one of these silly little memes that circulate around the web from time to time.
The rules are: list 7 things about yourself, then tag 7 people.
Pretty straightforward.
Here I go:
1. My first name ARN is just plain Arn - 3 little letters. It is not Arnold or Arnie. It is OK to call me Arnie if you feel protective towards me but never ever call me Arnold.
2. I am not Scandinavian even though Arn is a Scandinavian name. Family legend indicates that I was named after Prince Valiant’s son, Arn. Many of you are too young to remember the Prince Valiant comic strip series. But that is where my first name came from.
3. My last name, Cenedella, is Italian and my father’s side of the family did come from Italy. So my last name is indicative of some of my heritage but my first name is not.
4. I was emotionally scarred as a little kid because of my name. Every year the first day of school, the teacher would call roll and ask whether Ann was here. There was no Ann just little ol’ Arn.
5. In 7th grade, I was 4′11″ tall and weighed 65 lbs. I was on the wrestling team but the only matches I ever won were by forfeit. My girlfriend at the time Celeste rode me around on her bike handlebars.
6. I started college at Colgate University when I was still 16 but that did not stop me from drinking beer (At that time, 18 was the legal drinking age)
7. I have a Master’s Degree in Physical Chemistry from the University of Michigan but never worked in the field. I returned to the SF Peninsula where I grew up right after I graduated and went to work in my father’s real estate company, Cenedella and Co.
So that’s a little about me - Kevin has been tagged and I need to tag 6 more or I will live in eternal damnation.
