Versatile Blogger

My Blog Buddy Claudia Moser sent me a Versatile Blogger award today.
Since I've been blogging for almost six years, there's very little I haven't revealed about myself.
But the challenge is to tell 10 things about myself, so here goes:
1. I've snorkeled in the Bay of Colon - Panama
2. I was bitten by an Ocelot - Panama
3. I dove off Duncan Bridge into Smith Lake (40 feet from bridge to water)
4. I have an hourglass on my desk
5. In high school, I was selected class favorite in the 7th and 8th grades (don't laugh when you see the hair)
6. I've helped dig graves at the old cemetery near my childhood home
7. I played at the Napa Valley Wine Festival two years in a row with my lovely spouse Jilda
8. I've ridden in the engine of a freight train
9. I've dangled my feet off the end of a train
10. I swam in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans on the same day (again, in Panama)

So now, who do I select to get the versatile blogger?
You are Loved
Aine Tierney
Vittles and Committals

Grandpappy's Thoughts

Happy Memorial Day weekend.

  7. I wonder what they were setting us up for when young people are voted "favorite". You look like a kind young man in the photos.
    Grave digger would be interesting.
    You saved the best one for last. Fun list.

  11. I love your list! How in the world did you get bitten by an ocelot? That's a story that needs to be told (unless as a new reader I missed it elsewhere on your blog.) Swimming in both oceans on the same day is interesting.
