Play - Have Fun

Online magazine SMITH has just published a book "Not quite what I was planning" that contains six-word memoirs. Here is mine -

Be more rather than do more.

I believe we're called human beings rather that human doings.

Happy March 2008!

Pursuing Happiness - tag, your It!

Everybody - including me - deals with compressed time. But usually, I'm in a playful mood. Maybe it has something to do with Valeria's post from yesterday - what kind of games do you play? Do yourself a favor - deep breath - play a game like you're kid again. Lewis tagged a bunch of us with the 8 random things about me. In the process, I learned a bit about LG and Anna (who tagged him) - thanks to both of you.

As I breathe deep and smile, these are the 8 things you may or may not know about me:

1. Grew up in Iowa and moved to Spokane, WA 31 years ago. Its a tough place to leave once your here.
2. Umpired high school and college baseball for 20 years.
3. Notorious sweet tooth - DQ Blizzards the most tempting treat in my lifetime!
4. Deadhead through and through.
5. Cleaned volcanic ash from city roof tops for 6 months following eruption of Mt St Helen's in 1980.
6. Two life goals achieved - spring training with my dad and visiting the Sistine Chapel. Still want to see the Rockettes and go to a World Series game.
   
7. My favorite fishing fly is the Tom Thumb - a Canadian concoction made of deer hair that is simple to tie.
   
8. Paper or plastic? "That's OK - I have my own bag"

The game rules say I get to tag 8 people. Some of you I know better than others. Always random, of course - Play if you'd like!
