Actually, I was tagged on the 23 of December by Dean Haven, but didn’t discover it until this morning while cleaning up loose ends on my blog. Sorry, Dean, I’ve had my hands full and it just escaped my notice. Funny thing is, as I visited other peoples’ blogs to admire their work, I would notice all these folks getting “tagged”, and thought, “I doubt that more than four or five people even know I have a blog.”

I realize that the way “wildfire fads” run, I’m probably the last person in the blogosphere responding to a tag. So, whomever I list will have already been tagged, and I apologize beforehand. I just don’t have the time to do the research to discover who has not been tagged. So, if I have included you on my list it is to let you know that I watch your blog, and admire your work.

Rules: 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. 3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. 4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Hmmm… what can I tell you?

1. I’ve been married to my lovely Lasca for 35 years.

2. I became a grandfather on December 18th, my grandson’s name is Lasco.

3. When I was six years old I jumped off the roof of my house holding the four corners of a bed sheet, thinking I would drift gently to the ground. [wrong!]

4. I was at Woodstock from set-up until the end, and regardless of how the movie or nostalgic, gleamy-eyed freaks might try and portray it, accept for the music it was wall to wall chaos.

5. I, who once cared nothing for Jesus Christ and religion, now love Him, own Him as my Lord, and cherish His very name. (I still don’t want anything to do with religion.)

This takes a chunk of time! I should be painting. With apologies before hand, I’m tagging (knowing you’ve surely already been tagged, but with great admiration): Abbey Ryan, David Darrow, Todd Ford, Carol Nelson, David Malan.
