Tagged

Some weeks ago I was tagged by Craig at the Taz Trader Blog. Just saw it. Sorry, man, I’m truly that far behind. I have sleep scheduled for some time in July.

Here are my responses to the tag:

My Five Obsessions:

  • Trying to find the balance between overly permissive and hypervigilant on the constant highwire that is parenting (and no turning back or redos!).

  • Trading. Duh.

  • Hot Coffee.

  • Cold Beer.

  • Motorcycling.

  • Bonus #6: Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money (that’s an old Tom T. Hall song for you young people).

Five Reasons Why I Blog:

  • Handy way to keep from having repeat my rants. I just give out the url.

  • Somehow, getting stuff out of the attic (points to head) and onto paper, er, pixels helps to sort it out. Keeping it all in makes me insane.

  • I learn. It seems like I share an ounce of my questionable experience with others and get a pound of clear thought and good wishes in return.

  • It’s cathartic. Hard to explain, but somehow it really is. I’m sure others will agree.

  • Chicks dig it. Yeah, the other guy may eat caviar and have a Learjet and a Ferrari, but I’ve got a bucket of chicken, a six-pack of beer, and DummySpots!
    [note- editor is well aware that Trader-X has a blog AND a Learjet and Ferrari, darn him to heck]

***

That’s all I got. It’s probably too late for me to tag anyone who hasn’t been already, so please consider this an open tag to YOU!

    Wow, someone besides me remembers Tom T. Hall.

    I’m pretty sure the cowboy was right in that song, and I try to live my life accordingly… although that typically involves interpreting “faster horses” metaphorically.
