Tagged, Eh?

I haven't played tag since grade 8 (not counting that time in Las Vegas a few years ago). It's a good way to get us to update our blogs though.

Lets see, ...... The rules: Each player lists 8 random facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

OK....
1. One reason I am doing this is I don't think I could stand the embarrassment of having Allen actually update his blog before I do mine.

2. Megan is my favourite niece.

3. I have no addictions. If I did, cookies would be at the top of the list.

4. I actually know a lot more than people think I do. That makes me really good at Trivial Pursuit games, although I am admittedly weak in the cartoon-book-character category.

5. I get upset at drivers that straddle two lanes at stop signs.

6. I believe that mankind will save itself from disease, war, pestilence, and country music in a series of small steps rather than the "magic bullet" theorists.

7. Most of today's strong chewing gum flavours make me sneeze - a lot.

8. "Raymondo" comes from the first time I ever lied. At Disneyland, my two young daughters were horrified when they heard me give my name to the Latino operator of the ET ride as "Raymondo". "Dad, you lied!". Guilty. But at the end of the ride, ET said "Goodbye Raymondo". It was worth it.

As I don't know anyone else with their own blog aside from the ones Snowflake and Laurel already tagged, I'll have to pass on the tag to just Allan. Go for it Big Al!!

Hurray! I was beginning to think you people never read your the comments on own blogs!!!! Good job, Raymondo!

However, after reading the comment I just posted, maybe it's my grammar that kept you from responding. Note to myself: read your comment before you hit the publish button.

I can think of lots of people that should heed the advice contained in your second comment, Snowflake. Think George Bush, Paris Hilton, Stockwell Day, Brian Mulroney, Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, and so on.

The perception of my father changed that fateful day when 'Ray' transformed into 'Raymondo'.
