Kreativ Blogger Award


I am pleased to have been nominated for this Kreativ Blogger Award by Janet Koops from http://postcardfiction.com/. She has such a unique dexterity with words that her writing is insightful and reflective using so few of them. I am envious.

The rules for the Kreativ Blogger Award include:
Display the award image on your blog.
Acknowledge the nominator.
List ten things about yourself that readers probably don’t know.

Pass the award along by nominating at least six other blogs you enjoy reading. Although it’s a little bit “chain letter”ish in that regard, it is a nice way to show others you appreciate and enjoy their dedicated words.

So, here are ten things you may not know about me 
1. I was born in a snow bank. Well, not actually but I was born in Canada where there used to be snow banks.

2. When I first got a guitar to impress the girls, I learned by ear the bass lick from Peter Gunn – very sexy!

3. When I was in high school, I was on the swim team in my skimpy speedos. Girls came to watch our practise.

4. Also when I was in high school, I had a reputation amongst the girls in other schools that they scored with me – totally untrue! I was a virgin until I was 19.

5. I used to be shy.

6. I have developed platonic relationships with trees.

7. I have a very special tree that adopted me.

8. I am darthcricket.

9. I have knac for being a pest.

10. My life's work is to work out "Toccata & Blues in Em".

My personal ‘best of’ blogs are:
