Dang, I'm "It"

 Tony, over at Sand in the Gears (an excellent blog, BTW) tagged me in the following meme.  I haven’t done one of these in quite a while, so I thought I’d play along.  Here are the rules:

Link to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Write 6 random things about yourself.
Tag 6-ish people at the end of your post.
Let each person know he/she has been tagged.
Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

And that brings me to my "6 random things": 

Right now my primary therapist is our cat Nike.  Petting Nike and hearing her purr in appreciation, I can feel the stress slipping away…

I’m a contradictory eater.  I love all things made from tomatoes—tomato sauce, juice, ketchup, salsa—but I don’t like tomatoes.  I love to go fishing, but I don’t much like eating fish.

I still think Tom Baker is the best Doctor Who.

The pet I’ve never owned but always dreamed of is a large python.  But my wife set two rules in our house:  I wasn’t allowed to keep any snakes big enough to eat our kids and I wasn’t allowed to keep “hot herps” (that is, venomous reptiles).  That was why I had to let an absolutely beautiful coral snake go that we caught alongside the road.

In college my nickname was Eddie, after Eddie Munster (long story).   People often did not know my given name was actually Rob (even a girl I took out several times was surprised to eventually find out my real name wasn’t “Ed”).  Well, my given name is actually Carl, but I’m a Jr., so I’ve come by my middle name as long as I can remember.  My family still calls me “Robbie”.  Got that?

I score as a very strong Introvert on the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).

As to my tag-ees,  here they are:

Perfect Tommy (I vote this for best blog name ever)

Tom Squared  (hmmm... notice a pattern here?)

Tom Riddle  (OK, his name is actually "Mark", but I thought I'd keep the theme going)

Tom Turner (OK, this is really a woman, and her name is really Miriam, but I never have been one to sweat the details...)

TJ  (Tom Jan, who is really just Jan.   Some of the most beautiful pictures you will see anywhere.  My problem is that whenever I look at this blog, it makes me want to move to the Pacific Northwest!)

Fr.  Tom (actually, this David Knight, a priest who has hung in there in Long Beach, MS, ever since Katrina, and who I hope you all pray for daily)

TJ??? There is such a thing as overdoing a theme, you know...

I've done my duty. I've posted my random things:

(By the way, who would question that Tom Baker was the best Doctor? No one worth listening to.)

Fine. I'm IT. Are you happy now?
