A Dubious Honor...Times Two
Malcolm has bestowed a doubly dubious award on my blog. Not satisfied to simply give it the Honest Scrap Award, it became #2.5 (an extra victim) on his list of honorees.
Apparently, I must reveal 10 honest things that most people don’t know about me. Immediately following this offering, links are provided for my list of 7 more "Winners".
1. I was born partially club-footed. Actually, private-club footed. I still wear only socks carrying a current membership.
2. I’m color-blind. Except for commas. All commas look like rainbows to me.
3. I only have 2 sons, so growing up they had to take turns being the middle child.
4. For 18 years, every time I’ve gone up or down the stairs in my home, I’ve counted them. The number almost always comes out the same.
5. When I was 10 years old I found the gift that Santa had hidden in my parent’s closet, about a week before Christmas. My stomach still hurts a little bit.
6. I rarely remember my dreams. Possibly a matter of self-preservation.
7. I was annual editor for the yearbook during my senior year in high school. I appointed my best friend as photo editor so we could develop obscene hand gestures onto the photographic paper in the school’s darkroom.
8. During 5th grade I read nothing but biographies. All I recall from the entire collection is that James Riley’s middle name is “Whitcomb”.
9. I played Lancelot in a rather liberal interpretation of “Camelot” in 8th grade and was reduced to a fit of uncontrollable laughter during the scene where I brought Sir Bif Fortman back to life.
10. At age 7 I was hospitalized for some minor intestinal problem and broke wind in front of an attending nun.
My list of worthy celebrants:
Wordvixen
Wolf
Silken
Mitch
Chris Wood
Montucky
Sharon Hurley Hall
What wonderful year-end closure we're all having by being victims of the confession game. But you got to be special, #2.5, and that's rather like gate number 9 and 3/4 for the train Harry Potter and his friends took to Hogwarts.
So, 2.5 is the highest honor I could bestow, short of not including somebody at all.
I'm sure your permanent record will only be enhanced by the wonders recorded here.
Malcolm

Thanks for making me special. I'll give the olympics a shot next time around.
As for my Permanent Record...we'll see.

Sounds like something similar with what we do for Christmas. I took my kid, Matt, too his grandparents on Christmas eve. Then on Christmas day his other grandparents stopped by in the morning and spent most of the day with us. I also had a really good Christmas and so did Matt.

I admit, I have not been on this webpage in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues. Great stuff as usual..

Well, whaddya know? An award! Thanks! (I think)
Here are some things even our WritingUp alumni don't know - nor would they necessarily want to.
I hope you'll still love me in the morning...
Cheers,
Mitch

Hey there! Quick question that is entirely off subject. Do you know tips on how to make your web site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm attempting to come across a template or plugin that may well have the ability to fix this problem. For those who have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
