Tagged, me and my uncle

So, I've been Tagged by HeliTwo (aka Helen).

 

Being tagged : Post a picture of you, doesn't matter if it is an old one or recent one.

Tell 10 things about yourself and tag 10 of your friends.

 

1. In the photo above, I'm being held by my Uncle Gerald, my dad's younger brother. I have just as many chins now as I did then. :o)

 

2. I'm wearing diapers now, just as I did then. (recent prostate surgery) :o)

 

3. This was only my second major surgery. The first was an L4-5 discectomy back in '93.

 

4. Today (12Aug) I got back on my motorcycle for the first time since 12July. I have missed it so.

 

5. I was accepted at Pratt Institute out of high school, to major in art, but instead went to Ohio University, where I triple majored for awhile in sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. :o)

 

6. The longest I'd worked anywhere was 3 months, until graduating as a physical therapist. I've now had the same job for 31 years. (lazy and ambitionless). I came to NM for my last internship and got hired. I'm still working in my first job out of school, although I've worked for three different organizations. St. Joseph's turned into the Sandia Health system, which became Lovelace Health system. I got into PT so I wouldn't have to really work for a living.

 

7. When I was 43 I began training in a martial art, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. I'm now 58, but haven't been able to train for the last year. I'm hoping that all this will get behind me and I can get back to training. I began training when my older son, then 5, wanted to start in a martial art. He stopped in favor of wrestling when he got to middle school.

 

8. I share the love of motorcycles with that older son. Here he is on his Z 1000.

 

9. You've all seen my younger son, as I post a fair amount of his soccer (football). I got back into photography to shoot him. He lived in spite of that. My aim was so poor I've had to diversify my shooting to other subjects.

 

10. And I've been married to Kim (SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED) since 1981. She's still my child bride and my rock of Gibraltar, my port in the storm, my... eh, what's that dear? Get off the damn computer and do the dishes? Yes, dear...
