Tag ... You're It !! ;)
Greetings friends !!! If your name is associated to this photo ... you've been tagged ! ... I'm hoping you'll post a selfie & share 10 tidbits about yourself ... & you're welcome to tag 10 more flickr friends ;) ... ... (... I'm aware some of you have been tagged in the past ... I'm tryin' my best to spare ya a second round ;) Cheers !
I had been tagged by one of my new flickr friends, Helgaeg, ... here's my 'selfie' (... took me a month to find time to take a pic ... lol ...).
Right out of the blocks, I'll concede that my beautiful daughter made this (borrowed) jacket look much better on her ... but hey !, ... I needed a prop ;)
Without further adue, here we go... :
1. My favorite way to cap off the night is to have a glass of red wine ... my doctor actually recommended it ! (... albeit he wouldn't write me a prescription ;) ... Which reminds me, I better go and pour one ...
2. Although I have the tendency of being a, 'night-owl,' I can sleep pretty much anywhere; I remember when I was a teen after pulling an all-nighter with a buddy of mine, I rode 8 harsh miles in the back of my uncle's truck while off-roading to a secret fishing spot ... I slept through the entire rocky trip & woke up with minnows all over me (the cooler spilled on me & I never even flinched!)
3. Those that know me are not surprised when I declare that, ... I'm a quiet guy ... especially when mingling in a crowd. I enjoy being the 'fly on the wall,' albeit I have no problems in talking or presenting in front of groups.
4. A spin-off from point #3, if I wasn't doing what I do now for employment, I definitely would have enjoyed being a teacher. I have had opportunities to 'taste' teaching ... while instructing firearms training, instructing Forensics during evening classes for 3 fall semesters at the local College, and being invited to help facilitate a 3 week course hosted by the Canadian Police College.
5. I absolutely love all kinds of music ... even during a stressful day at work, I'll turn on some of my fav's & I can focus on plowing through whatever's in front of me ... (Jazz will often do in a pinch for relaxing me ;)
6. I'm getting back into playing guitar after about a decade hiatus ... starting off playing a lot of acoustic stuffs & am slowly delving back into electric as well :) To help motivate myself, I've joined a band that's developing ... now I'm accountable to others !! ( ... oh-ohh ! ... ;)
7. I love hockey ! ... I'm the first to admit I do not pay too much attention to the technical aspects of it, but really enjoy playing the game & watching my two sons play. I'm currently my eldest son's hockey coach. When growing up in Northern Canada, I used to put my skates on at the door & would, literally, skate on the snow-packed streets the 2 blocks to the neighborhood outdoor rink ... good times !!! :)
8. I love camping & exploring the outdoors ! When I was a boy, my re-occurring dream was that I built & lived in a log cabin deep in the woods ... absolutely love it. I still sometimes wish I could slip away to that cabin ... lol ...
9. Up until I was 3 years old, I was a French speaking little boy ... my mother is French & my father German ... my father got fed-up with getting home from work & not being able to understand his own son ... lol ... by the time I turned 3, French went out the window in our house & English became the common lingo under our roof.
10. I enjoy a good sense of humor & tend to gravitate towards others that can appreciate the lighter side of life :)
... well that was relatively painless !! I'll see if I can tag a few others now ... cheers !!!
