The Versatile Blogger Award

Last week, someone I always enjoy reading, the highly accomplished writer/blogger J.D. over at RADIATOR HEAVEN, received worthy acclaim when he was bestowed with The Versatile Blogger award. This is an ideal prize for someone so multi-talented like him. You can add the word generous, too, because he shared his award with moi. To say the least, I am very honored to be in the same company with J.D. and the others he shared this with. Thank you, my friend. Following his example, I'll try "passing on this award to other blogs that I enjoy reading and that inspire me."

The Rules for the Award:
  • Thank the person who gave you this award (see above)
  • Share 7 things about yourself (see below)
  • Pass the award along to 15 who you have recently discovered and who you think fantastic for whatever reason (in no particular order - see way below)
  • Contact the blogs you picked and let them know about the award.

So... here are those 7 things:
  1. I met my future wife at work by the copy machine (decades ago when the devices were large, rare, and expensive).
  2. I can't stand the taste of coconut. Never have... never will. It doesn't matter even if you try to hide it in a candy bar like Almond Joy or Mounds, it ain't going down.
  3. Through the years, I've tried to visit many of the location sites from my favorite L.A. Movies (you can ask my wife).
  4. I adore brunettes.
  5. Though I can't eat them like I once could, one of my favorite See's Candy is a Tipperary Bon Bon (I acquired a taste for them from my mother)
  6. I once was flexible enough I could place and hold my forehead onto my straighten legs (sadly, those days are long gone)
  7. I do not suffer from Triskaidekaphobia -- in fact, I'm the polar opposite of that ;-).

And... I like to share this award with:

Scientist Gone Wordy

Stuff Running 'Round My Head

Pop Culture Nerd

Edward Copeland on Film

Meanderings and Muses

Snooker in Berlin

From Cop to Mom and the Words in Between

Cinema Geek

  6. There you go again, being too kind to me. What am I going to do with you??

    Seriously, thanks so much for this. When I'm up at 4 a.m. wondering why I'm sweating over a post, I'll think of you reading it and say, "That's why."

    That's sexy how you met your wife. You know what people do on copy machines in porn movies, right? I mean, ahem, *cough* I don't know, either. That's why I'm asking.

  8. Hearty congratulations, le0pard13!  And I'm very chuffed to be amongst those wonderful bloggers you've passed this award on to.  Thank you!  I've enjoyed learning seven things about you.  I have much higher respect for the humble copy machine now...
