A couple of days ago, my lively plurk buddy, AsKatKnits, tagged me - quite unexpectedly I must say. So please bear with me because I am not as web saavy as I may look (or act).

If I understand the game correctly I first give AKK a shout out. She’s a lovely and interesting lady and her blog is well worth reading. You're gonna love it and it's updated frequently. Always current.

OK that was Step #1.

Step #2. = Now I write 5 interesting factoids about myself:

1. I worked as a chambermaid in Germany at Hotel Bad Schachen (in Lindau) the summer that Princess Di wed Charles.

2. The next year I worked on a kibbutz in Israel doing various odd jobs such as driving a tractor and working in the childcare center.

3. I have met Richard Avedon, Ansel Adams and saw Annie Liebovitz lecture in SF.

4. I have 5 brothers so don’t mess with me (oh and two sisters too).

5. I have arthritis in my big toe, the right one (sorry-couldn’t think of anything else!)

Step #3 is where I get to tag 6 other unsuspecting bloggers around the globe. Here goes:

1. Always compelling and well written: Quotidian Musings

2. Read the crazy Swiss-Cheese Land Adventures of my niece, Charlotte, who is a fresham at Franklin College in Logano, Switzerland

3. My longest friend, who I have known since the second grade is Kathryn K.

4. Rantz is my favorite Aussie and yes, he does.

5. I have a lot in common with Chris, and it's not just the name.

6. And last, but certainly not least, don't forget to visit alice thelma.

Hope you enjoy these blogs, handpicked by yours truly.
