And so it is that I have been tagged by a fellow blogger to do this list thing. I was kind of hoping that I would avoid this blogging trend, but I also knew it was inevitable. Like that darn beach ball that is often bounced around the crowd at concerts, it always finds its way to me, daring me to cooly punch it just right so that it will travel through the air a respectable distance and on to the next stoner, I mean music fan.
The uncomfortable truth is that I always envision hitting it at just the wrong angle and very uncooly sending it into the back of the head of the guy in front of me. I think there was a Kevin Costner movie once where I heard the line, "If you envision it, it will duly suck." Or something like that.
But let's move away from that beach ball story that may or may have not been relevant and get back to the subject at hand. Only because it was Rex who tagged me will I do it. Well, Rex or any pretty girl. Because Rex's blog is such a great read and because he and I live in the same town (you gotta be cool with your fellow townsfolk), I will answer these little questions. But I will break the rules in one small but important area.
After finishing this little "get to know ya" list, I will not be attempting to send that beach ball back into the crowd. I will not be tagging others. They can adopt it as they wish, but the pressure is not on. Read, smile, and move on if you like. My parents were hippies and I'm a laid back dude, too.

Did Newton Dominey tag you? I think this was a game of fours and he bumped it up a notch so you went above and beyond.
Ha... Rex tagged you.
When I did this last week it was 4 things.
