More "Getting To Know Me"

Okay, I'm back.

In the interest of keeping this thing going, ( I'm getting into a "techo-burnout" phase, where computers, cellphones, yadda yadda yadda, are starting to wear on me! but it should be only temporary ) I realised I need to post SOMETHING before the snows fly for the winter!

Once again, a friend of mine just posted one of those self-revealing themes. And since I apparently live enough if an enigmatic life that more than a few people have commented to me that reading my blogs tells more about me than they ever knew! That's rather sad in itself isn't it!

Anyway, Here is the next installment of "Getting to Know Dale"...by the alphabet.

A is for AGE: Currently 54, which increases at an annual rate each June.

B is for BEER: Since I choose not to imbibe, I'd have to say ROOT Beer..any of the high quality brands sweetened with honey. But plain old Iced Tea with Lemon and no sugar is my "brew" of choice.

C is for CAREER: I drive a truck. After a long period of time traversing the country, I stay home these days and deliver gasoline.

D is for DOG: I don't have a dog...Our neighbors had a dog when I was a little kid, who I shot in the butt with a BB gun when I was 12, and have felt bad about poor Rex's yelp ever since! Ol' Rex was such a sweet old dog! Boy! the baggage we carry!

E is for ESSENTIAL ITEM YOU USE EVERYDAY: Geez! There are so many! How about my glasses to start! Then Mr Coffee, followed by a toothbrush, a pen, a bar of soap..where does it end!

F is for FAVORITE TV SHOW: I very rarely watch TV. I suppose if I did it would be something from National Geographic, The History Channel, Discovery, a few favorite OLD shows, and old CLASSIC cartoons.

G is for FAVORITE GAME TO WATCH: That's something Ive never really thought about before. WATCHING sports bores me to no end! Football, Basketball, Soccer, etc, etc, etc, are all just "human ping pong" to me! Run back and forth across the field once and its all down "repetition hill" from then on! I used to watch JEOPARDY on occasion on TV.

H is for HOMETOWN: Tacoma, Washington. Been here, and there, and everywhere in between, but Tacoma has always been regarded as home.

I is for INSTRUMENTS YOU PLAY: None at the moment. However I first seriously, picked up a guitar in the 1970s and played regularly until I began my driving career and lost all my finger callouses. Now I don't play at all, but have an fairly decent 12 string collecting dust.

J is for FAVORITE JUICE: Depending on my mood, it's generally Orange Juice or Cranberry.

K is for WHO'S BUTT YOU LIKE TO BE KICKING: Well dang, sorry to disappoint anyone, but I can't think of any one's butt I feel a need to kick.

L is for the LAST PLACE YOU ATE: Actually I just finished a grilled cheese sandwich sitting right here in this chair!

M is for MARRIAGE: Twice. Whether there is a try for "Third times a Charm" is a complete mystery to me. Time will tell or not. It isn't something I'm preoccupied with.

N is for NAME: Dale

O is for OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY: I've been lucky enough through my years that I haven't spent a night in a hospital, UNLESS one counts the TWENTY SIX HOURS it took for my oldest son to make his entrance into this world!!

P is for PEOPLE YOU WERE WITH TODAY: Uhhh Lets see, the lady at the Marina Office, The guy at the gas station, and Mom.

Q is for YOUR BEST QUALITY: I'll say, quite out of character with utter lack of modesty, that I have a number of qualities. However, if I were to narrow it down, I'd have to say, my integrity.

R is for WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING: Ive usually got a few books within arms reach, however I read a little bit of "When Eight Bells Toll" by Alistair MacLean this morning.

S is for RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

T is for the TIME YOU WOKE UP TODAY: It was late for me...605 AM.

U is for the type of UNDERWEAR YOU HAVE ON: Good grief what a question, I bet I could really raise eyebrows with this one! How about Pink and Lavender Paisley thongs with little red hearts! But that would be a lie! OK everyone just calm down! Don't get all excited! They are plain old white, Fruit of the Loom BRIEFS!! Sexy stuff huh? I think maybe "U" should be for "U have entirely too much free time thinking up these questions!"

V is for VEGETABLE YOU LOVE: Just the basics, Corn, Peas, Green Beans, Carrots.

W is for WORST HABITS: By far and away, Plain old Procrastination.

X is for XRAYS YOU'VE HAD RECENTLY: Dental

Y is for SOMETHING CANDY: How bout "Y" NOT!!! or YUMMY! How bout Baby Ruth...I had a bag of miniatures in my little truck until they magically disappeared!

Z is for ZODIAC SIGN: I am a hopeless, unchanging, typical, and well fitting to the image, CANCER.

Okay, there you have one more installment in what makes Dale tick.

As always, stay tuned, updates, edits, and entirely new posts are prone to appear on a whim.

Stay Safe, Happy and Healthy!
