Chris Brown wants to know 5 MORE things about Phil Gerbyshak!

This morning I got tagged for the 3rd time to share 5 more things about me that you don't know by Chris Brown.

Let me start by sharing "Take 5 with Phil" and then we took "5 MORE with Phil," and now, stand by for...

5 Things Most Bloggers Don't Know about Phil Gerbyshak

1. Phil Gerbyshak got in a huge car accident the day he got his driver's license. I'm lucky to be alive.
2. Phil Gerbyshak was called "the Mint Man" by his favorite bosses/parents, Bob and Mary Moser. Bob and Mary were my managers when I worked at a supper club in northeastern Wisconsin, and they treated me like their son. They called me the mint man because when we opened a new restaurant, there was a big bucket of mints hidden in a back covey of the restaurant. Because the mints were still in fresh condition, individually wrapped and all, I asked if I could pass out mints to our customers, asking them "Want a mint?" I was dubbed the Mint Man because of this, and they even put that in the local paper for my 19th birthday.
3. Phil Gerbyshak has 2 younger brothers...and 2 older stepbrothers and 1 older stepsister. My parents got divorced when I was 7, and both got remarried when I was 9. My older step-siblings live in Crivitz near my mom.
4. Phil Gerbyshak played Babe Ruth baseball against Atlanta Braves All-Star Bob Wickman. I had a pretty darn good curveball myself, but the accident I listed in #1 effectively ended my baseball career.
   
5. Phil Gerbyshak has never smoked a cigarette in his life, and never plans to. I have smoked 1 cigar in celebration for completing a course at a previous employer, but I doubt I'll ever do that again.

I refrained from tagging anyone last time I was tagged, but now, I'd like to tag Antonella Pavese, Chris Bailey, Skip Reardon, Kevin Eikenberry and Kim Kotecki and her husband Jason Kotecki (two amazing people you need to get to know if you don't already). And I also want to send a tag out to anyone who wants to be it. While I haven't tagged you by name, know that if we were in the same room, I would be chasing you around trying to tag you.

If anyone else wants to know anything else about me, please ask me a question in the comments and I'll be happy to answer it. I don't suffer from Adultitis, and I hope you don't either!

[Phil Gerbyshak loves life, and is willing to share anything about him that you want to know. Just ask him!]
