I’ve Been Tagged

by The Mom over at Shoved to Them

She’s another Imelda Marcos of Running Shoes, and she better be running in them.

I should be better at this. I was great at tag when I was a kid. Being short and able to run fast was a big help.

1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read their blog.

What I was doing ten years ago:
Running a Christian bookstore. But not doing any running. I had hurt my knee years ago and stopped. I was also 40 pounds every than now. And I only had 6 kids.

Five things on my To-Do list today:
1. Run
2. Cut my dad’s grass
3. Make meatballs for dinner tomorrow night
4. Hug and Kiss my wife
5. Go to Elizabeth’s Confirmation

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Buy new running shoes
2. Take my wife on a shopping spree to Victoria Secrets – ok to somewhere she would appreciate more.
3. Buy a beach house in the Caribbean – maybe Barbados
4. Hire a maid and cook for my wife
5. Oh and buy some more running shoes

Three of my bad habits/qualities:
1. My wife says I have none
2. I’m overly functional. I have to be early to everything
3. I get real cranky if I don’t get to run, bike or swim each day

Five places I’ve lived:
1. Alexandria, VA
2. Marion, AL - college
3. Harrisonburg, VA - college
4. Crofton, MD
5. Bowie, MD most of my time has been here

Five jobs I’ve had:
1. Gas Station Attendant – I’m old enough to have worked back when gas stations were full service. For you young people, that’s when you sat in your car and someone pumped the gas for you.
2. Liquor Store Clerk – while in college. Still my favorite job
3. Banker – various jobs from teller on up
4. Owed and ran (along with my bride) a Christian Bookstore for 10 years
5. Software Tester – current job

Five books I’ve recently read:
1. The Thanatos Syndrome by Walker Percy
2. Biography of Albert Camus
3. Runaway jury by Grisham
4. Sports Illustrated
5. Three Little Javelinos to the kids

Five people or communities I’m going to tag:

Sam aka My Lovely Bride
A Wink and a Smile aka The Swimmer
Welcome to my brain aka The Pastor's Wife. Who is probably wondering who the heck I am
Catherine aka The Only Pereson I Know in France
KayleighJeanne aka Oh Rats
