Way back in January Dawn of Dawn&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/dawnsdiversions.blogspot.com\/\">Diversions<\/a> awarded me the &#8220;Honest Scrap&#8221; Award. I&#8217;m very proud of it. I apologize to her for not acknowledging it sooner.<\/p>\n<p>The award has requirements for the awardee. First I need to say seven things about myself and then I need to award it to other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>So here goes.<\/p>\n<p>1. I like beer. Give me a porter, india pale ale, wheat beer, stout, nut brown ale. I like them all. I especially like brew pub beers. One of the highlights of my life is two weeks I spent in Great Britain years ago. I loved the pubs and two, three, or four pints of bitters.<\/p>\n<p>2. I love coffee. Starbucks brew is OK. My favorite coffee joints here in Tulsa are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doubleshotcoffee.com\/DoubleShot.html\">Double Shot Coffee<\/a> on Boston near 21st street and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topecacoffee.com\/\">Topeca<\/a> downtown in the old Mayo Hotel building. At these places I&#8217;ll get an Americano at those places. There are other places in town that I haven&#8217;t tried. Let me know about them!<\/p>\n<p>3. Guess what, you will never guess. I love geocaching. I manage to work a cache in no matter what I do. Check out the very bottom of my blog page for some very detailed statistics. Its not about the numbers though. No not at all. I don&#8217;t really hardly pay any attention to them at all, really.<\/p>\n<p>4. I am a nerd. At one time in my life I was headed toward hard core nerddom. I worked on a research project in college on rockets. I presented a paper at the Air Force Academy on a study of optimum time delay between staging for multistage rockets.<\/p>\n<p>5. Sweetie and I fight over her Southern Living magazine. I think she hides it from me until she gets to read it. It is so cozy and comfortable I cannot hardly stand it.<\/p>\n<p>6. I love being outside. I have to be outside for at least a little bit every day or things do not go well for me at all. It grounds me.<\/p>\n<p>7. My guilty pleasure is zoning out. I zone out while running. Its like a meditation or a prayer to me and goes really fast. I can zone out in almost any situation. I had a root canal years ago. I zoned out almost the whole time. I mean I was aware of the whole thing but it was in one room and I was in another room. My dentist still tells me on occasion that he had never seen anybody so relaxed during the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Now, where does it go from here. Here are the people I&#8217;m awarding this to:<\/p>\n<p>Baloney of <a href=\"http:\/\/soundslikebaloney.blogspot.com\/\">That&#8217;s Baloney <\/a>&#8211; Baloney has the ability to make a flat tire entertaining. Takes very entertaining, and sometimes compromising, pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy of <a href=\"http:\/\/kbr44.blogspot.com\/\">Oklahoma Book Lady <\/a>&#8211; Kathy can write about all sorts of stuff besides books. She has a very good eye at photography.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle of the <a href=\"http:\/\/thefroggybottomblog.blogspot.com\/\">Froggy Bottom Blog <\/a>&#8211; Wide ranging blog on her family. Very good at photography.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am very derelict in acknowledging receipt of an award.
